One of the funniest typos I ever read was in a newspaper real estate section. The property in question was "close to all pubic facilities."<br /><br />Thanks for the informative yet supremely hilarious post.<br /><br />Rose (who will see any typos *after* she posts her comments)Rose B.

I know very, very few people who'd be comfortable with this exercise for exactly the reason you've given. It's not often that a telephone answering message is nailed down on the first 'take', lol.

The sound of my own voice is unpleasant to me. Or a Hollywood actress, no longer able to work, as she's too old to portray a septuagenarian's love interest. Twenty-seven (gasp!) is such a cruel age. I wish I could read confidently. I listened to an audio book of "The Stranger" by Camus once only to discover how much humor there was in it that I'd missed reading it. Corbin A.
