Wonderful bit of stuff.
I'll try to get one of the CAC-C editors to include it in thier next issue. We have several issues already made up to get ahead of the weekly deadlines at so please remind me, or one the other Committee Members, if nothing happens soon.
Meanwhile, correct the spelling of 'threw' which appears in the paragraph after section 5 describing something being thrown but presently spelled as 'through'. Homonymic spellings only work if their maid consciously .

Great.
Now what about the title where the word 'addition' should really be 'edition'?
Y'see sometimes, like substituting addition for edition, it is done deliberately for humour or an intellectually stimulating effect.
I do it awl the time.
But at other times, like the one I 'through' at ya earlier, it does seem like an unconscious mistake when the substitute doesn't immediately make cents.
I can understand 'addition', as an amusing shot at the publishing industry phenomenon of recycling old books, CDs and films by 'adding' some sort of extra value to jack up the price and force people who own the old version to buy the newer 'addition'. This happens a lot lately with DVD re-issues for example that claim much 'added' value.
So whether you meant it or not I can live with 'addition'.

hello ~jwf~
I have changed the title. It was not an attempt at being funny. Just a stupid spelling mistake -a thing I speshelise in.
Thanks again

Oh but it was. Maybe you weren't aware or conscious of it, but the lord works in Strangeways. We are but funnels for the font of knowledge. The Henglish langwitch is the medium of the messangers.

Oops, that word 'lord' may be a typo.
I probably meant 'the word'.
