	paco2004  +  114118 Fri, 01 Jul 05 03:10 AM I'll cite what is written about "especially" in my pocket dictionary.   1. to an unusual degree; in particular: She loves animals, especially dogs. The Irish, especially, are proud of their tradition. The car is rather small especially if you have a large family. He was disappointed with the mark in exam especially as he had worked so hard for it. 2. for a particular purpose : I made this especially for you. 3. for a particular purpose : It's not an especially difficult exam. "Do you like jazz?" "Not especially."   paco paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member 4,095 In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.

	davkett  +  114127 Fri, 01 Jul 05 03:52 AM Hi Paco, I put this post edit problem on the Help forum earlier today.  Haven't received a reply yet.  But I do anticipate a solution, because we all want an available option to correct something we might have missed in the preview. davkett Joined on Tue, Jun 7 2005 Pennsylvania, USA Senior Member 2,788 "The rose stays fresh in its name..." -Bernard of Morlay

	paco2004  +  114130 Fri, 01 Jul 05 04:12 AM Hi Davkett Thanks. I too have just sent an e-mail to moderators to complain about it. As I'm a non-native user of English, I makes a lot of mistypes and miseditions. If this system continues to be as it is now, I should be very careful in posting questions and replies. But I am quite uncertain whether I could be always so careful. paco   paco2004

	abbie1948  +  114239 Fri, 01 Jul 05 11:20 AM Yup. Found the edit button; apparently the time limit is about a nano-second! I guess we'll all get used to things, and the glitches wiill be ironed out in time. abbie1948
