Your toddaid is (almost) perfect as well. Maybe we'll have to relax the "at the syllable indicated" requirement -- which means we'll never be accepted in the Welsh Academy of Letters, if there is such a thing.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-44485279813501507352011-11-11T21:18:07.428-05:002011-11-11T21:18:07.428-05:00I've have visited your blog a few times now, e...I've have visited your blog a few times now, enjoying what I read, but with this post, I'm challenged to join in the fun.

I often miss seeing errors in Courier type, but spot them easily in Times Roman. What is that about, I wonder?<br /><br />In your spare time, perhaps you could create a Welsh spell-checker. There must be a great demand for one.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-45099173428246291852011-11-11T08:04:14.324-05:002011-11-11T08:04:14.324-05:00Your spell-checker must have given up and retired ...Your spell-checker must have given up and retired to the country when you presented it with this post!Shooting Parrotshttp://shootingparrots.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
