I was going to look up the current usage via the online service, but then discovered that it costs UK £350+VAT/ US $550 per year for a personal license (see <http://dictionary.oed.com/public/subscriptions/licence.htm>). Riiiiiiight. Tell ya what. I'll consider switching usage when I can find a freakin' copy of the goddam thing that is being sold fourth or fifth-hand, and at a price I can bloody afford. Oh, and it has to demonstrate this usage as being primary, too. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
