Re: Test Test 2



"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

No problems here. But I might mention.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.=20



Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimbol in the wabe, the
boregoves got a whimsey and the fligits were damp.

The spell checker in Eudora Pro 4 is very much improved over v 2.2, but=
still
it does not check things like brillig and slithy and gimbol and wabe and
boregoves and fligits.=A0 Are these spelled correctly?=A0 For that matter=
is
spelled spelled correctly?=A0 Or is it spelt?=A0 But gyre _is_ checked,=
what a
wonderful invention a spel checker is.=A0 How did we ever get along without
one?=A0
But who says that the spell checker has the right to tell us how to spell?=
=A0
This is clearly nigh unto tyranny!

For score and seventeen years ago our fathers and mothers -- we must be
ecumenical here -- brought forth several babies -- because that is what
fathers
and mothers do =20
