(What puzzled me for a while was that there was no / between - and -ea- so I thought it was one word --ea-- and I tried in vain to make sense of that.)

You've got it.

If a word comes at the end of a line, I often don't put a "/" at the end of it. Perhaps I should start. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it's yours, Guinevere. :)

Guinevere 05-18-2010 03:20 AM

Thank you, Inziladun! :)
