Thank you. I keep getting elude, and allude spellings confused ! For some reason I thought alude had one "L" but I've got to get this thru my head.. Spelling and English Comp get tougher for me as time goes by.

Did you doubt me Mr. Kaplan?
Intransitive Verb - A verb that indicates a complete action without being accompanied by a direct object, as sit or lie, and, in English, that does not form a passive.

Umm, Uh, Well... I was sortuh wondering if there was *Some* chance that I was correct
I mean, I'm not going to lie... I sort've was wondering what year the dictionary added the second "L" to the spelling of that word without telling anybody
No seriously, I do appreciate you pointing that out because I want to improve myself, and I can't by making boo boo's assuming I'm not corrected!! If I can't learn things from sites and chat areas, they don't offer much IMHO.. I don't have the type of ego where it's important for me to know everything, because I don't. It's just amazing how difficult spelling can get without using spellcheck, and a dictionary at times.. I've looked up words such as surprise, but can't recall the correct way to spell it time after time.. I mispell words such as criticize, or criticise.. This type mistake I repeatedly make. I can't retain the correct spelling for some reason.

Well, in the case of the word *criticize*, just pretend that you are French! :shock:

Ettiene? Please ellaborate...
Were you refering to *Ettiene De Grellet* the author?
*I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.*
or did you mean *Etienne* whom I believe is a musician...
