Since english is not my native language, I even check correct spelling or phrase wording from there. I just type in the variants I think should be correct and use the one which gives me most of hits. For example "all of above" gives 18000 hits, but "all of the above" gives 1200000, so I know the latter should be correct. They guys who will earn billions during the IPO, have really earned it :) Tanel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mercadante, Thomas F" To: Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 10:51 PM Subject: RE: Searches on OTN > Really!
