No, he just spells it with two i's like sensible people do. Who would ever want *three* I's in "aluminium" (which, by the way, you misspelled ;-)? Such things are matters of practical significance to me, since I have adopted a policy of using English spelling when in the UK and US spelling when elsewhere. Since I am now pretty much full-time in the US, I am finally having to come to terms with its crazy spelling. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
