Got it, but as a former English major, rampant poor spelling drives me round the bend. Just this morning an ad in the local paper looking for volunteers in a clinical study of C-reactive protein mentioned that the volunteers could not have had a prior "heart attack or struck" - I am assuming they meant "stroke" but for Pete's sake, you'd wonder about the quality of the research if they can't even get basic terms right.
Curmudgeonly yours....
