Thanks Mark. I put it inside first and then thought "that looks odd". Then I moved it outside and that looked odd as well.
Do you ever get that thing with spelling that a word you've known how to spell for 30yrs suddenly looks wrong?

I had to resort to a spell checker last year when my brain crashed and couldn't remember whether forty was spelt with a u or not. Amazing when that happens sometimes, especially with quite "normal" words!

All the time and especially with present participles, particularly words like "ageing" relative, say, to "raging" - and "arcing" - to remain in context!
The associated problem is never remembering commonly used telephone numbers because they're all in the telephone's memory, not yours. However, I can still remember our home telephone number from the 1940s. Useful or what?
Regards, and many thanks for your ongoing contributions - always thoughtful, thought-provoking, and to the point - if not as short as Steve G's!
