Mylord, I guarantee you that you'd see a rather large difference were it to
end up in your mouth <grin>

As I was telling 'Lainie, my point simply was that while the word's use in
period was likely the same thing, we must be careful and aware of the
differences, given we actually live in today's world...  And Lainie's
right, I'm really in a crappy mood today.  So 'nuff from me, gonna go crawl
in a hole and disapear.
