	Grammar Geek  +  318167 Sun, 21 Jan 07 10:23 PM Truly, only "choice" makes sense. Perhaps he mis-typed and then blindly accepted the suggestion of his spell checker. But the only way to resolve this is to simply ask him. I will be willing to bet that he will say something like "Oops - I made a typo! I meant 'word choice' of course."

It would be hard to confuse 'choice' with 'choke' in speech. However, the letters o and i (the correct letters) are right above the letter k (the typo letter). He must have hit the wrong key 'k' instead of one of the correct letters, and the spellcheck changed it to choke without him noticing. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.
