~ jwf ~ scribblo ergo sum Posted Mar 2, 2003
For me the dictionary is always a last resort and only after the question's gone unanswered for more than 8 hours. And I have learned two new words so far, ordure and rictus. 
BTW - Ontario is not a city. 
It is one of ten provinces. The capital city of which is Toronto. The national capital city, Ottawa, is also in the Province of Ontario. 
So whatever book you looked that one up in is wrong.
I live in Halifax which is the capital city of the Province of Nova Scotia.
