RE: Punctuation

["Anita Legsdin" <anita -dot- legsdin -at- watchmark -dot- com>]

As the saying goes, the U.S.A. and Britain are two countries separated by a common language...

And on the subject of writing standards, a friend just last week forwarded the following piece of levity:

 Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer 
 in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is 
 taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. 
  
 The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit 
 porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by 
 istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. 
  
 F<censored> amzanig huh?
