do you prefer I write "Kerstmis"?

It was the 2 s'es at the end that through Bushy for a loop. Remember he is land-locked in the back-woods.

SJ, I know and I appreciate the remark. In my own language I'm also rather upset by such mistakes and altough I had english lessons of a teacher who just gave you a "0" when you wrote a mistake, I have to admit that on a forum I don't always take the dictionary when I 've doubts. By the way: that englisch teacher admitted that every mistake made him doubt, so he had to take the dictionary, so he had to do the work the student should have done in the first place.

So Bushy, thanks for the remark and I'll try to remember that one (but have to admit the grey stuff uphere is not of the same quality anymore as it used to be. But even a donkey doesn't make the same mistake twice...)

Can't even pick on someone without them taking it seriously (had to look that word up).

Slimjim...You are absolutly correct. For the first time in my life there are NO ocean views here. I love it.

Ok, I thought Christmass might be a European type thing, you know like how in the Queen's English its Colour not Color. Anyway, if you add that all important "y" is becomes Christmassy! So there can be 3 s'es in Christmas!
