Good thing I don't write liner notes! >>Good catch on the Whippoorwill spelling, Pat<< Actually, I hardly had looked at the CD booklet or back cover -- it was called to my attention by a more astute listened who clearly has less time on his, I mean HER (oops!) hands.

So... if'n anyone is in need of website design by someone who is *usually* a spelling/grammar geek, and is *usually* very responsive (I didn't say responsible, mind you!)... look me up. Pat p.s.

Lazy me...I made an invalid assumption that this was an accepted alternate spelling, and never gave it another thought. I guess it must be acceptable for some, but not for the online dictionaries which I just now checked. Tsk tsk. Something else I found: in "Waist Deep...", 3rd verse, 6th line, Richard sings - "We'll soon be on dry ground", same as in the previous verse instead of what is printed - "Follow me I'll lead on". Intentional or accidental? I also saw that "our" Ron Greitzer received thanks from Richard on the inside back sheet of the case! That's it for now, Carrie in KC. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 10:37:16 EDT From: Phueber@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: Spelling Lesson The proper spelling is actually Whip-poor-will.

But Google CAN tell you whether the word is spelled properly, after a fashion. Do a search for the true spelling and look over to the right, just above the search results, in the heading that lists the number of results. If your search includes any "real" words, you'll see a link to dictionary.com's definition. The definition link doesn't appear if you enter a misspelled word.
