Aha! :!:

Should it have been roused rather than aroused? :P

(You so seldom make any errors that I just couln't help it. The devil made me do it.) ... >:D

All the best,
Richard



I know wear Sylvia's spelling error was...

But Richard, you made one yourself! Actually it was more of a typo...

This coming Sunday there's a St Patrick's Day Parade in London, and I'll be out with my camera - maybe I'll find some more bootscrapers for the photo collection.

Doh! :doh:

I looked at that post over and over again but still didn't notice I'd written "wear" instead of where. I'm a doofus. ;D

Wonder if it takes a "doofus" to recognize one? ... ;)

Martin made me remember, yet once again, that people in glass houses ... :-[

All the best,
Richard

Oh, now I'm surprised: I made quite often such mistakes in English (typing a totally different word with a different meaning but with "similiar" pronunciation) always assuming that's because it's a foreign language for me -- I can't remember that happens at me in German, so I'm always puzzled how "strange" my brain organizes English words. Now I'm really surprised that this happens also to native speakers.

(And BTW "doofus" seems to be a funny word, never heard. It just catched my attention because in German the adjective "doof" exists which is translated by my dictionary to "stupid" or more seldom "boring" ...  :hmm:)

The meaning is the same in English ... :lol:
(We probably "borrowed" the word from the Germans.) ... ;)

BTW, Susan just returned from Fort Lauderdale with a wonderful Deutsche Post package from you. Vielen Dank, mein Freund! ...  :wow: ...  :wow: ...  :wow:

Everything arrived in perfect condition.

All the best,
Richard
