& if somebody didn't pay, were they being anual retentive? Sorry, had to go with the flow. Oh, sorry again ...

The only reason I can think of to misspell the critter is to save space - if you're working with old legacy systems, that might be a concern. Especially if the headings don't ordinarily appear in any document that a taxpayer or other member of the public would ever see.

From The NJ Forum:

I get were your going in general I don't eat Italian much less those places you describe.

Earlier in the same thread, the same person stated that he is very fond of Veal Franchise.
In response, I asked if it is difficult to obtain one of those veal franchises, and whether they are more expensive to purchase than other restaurant franchises, but I never received a response.

In a southern Virginia small town newspaper's recent online edition: many repeated references to the large number of canons which will be used in an upcoming local Civil War battle reenactment.

Gives a whole new meaning to the music of the Civil War...

Naw, some obscure reference to Canon Law - by some crypto-Roman Catholic, no doubt. Or maybe a musical reference - to Pachelbel's Canon?

Some classical music, played very loudly, can intimidate and distract. When played by beginners with no ear for music, I'm sure it could be a debilitating weapon. Is that maybe what they're referring to?

Well, maybe " The 1812 Overture" will be played at the reenactment, since "canons" are featured.

Warning, foul language, but deserved. I play violin a lot better than that.
