Spelling counts

Hey, lawyer who advertises on TV and hopes I'll call your large print phone number because I've suffered the ill effects you describe which are related to a medical device:

chord = A group of (typically three or more) notes sounded together, as a basis of harmony.
cord = Any part resembling a string or rope

And, hey, person programming the news crawl on channel 3:

Tuscan = of, pertaining to, or characteristic of Tuscany, its people, or their dialect.
Tucson = city in south Arizona

Just so you know...

Well, lo and behold, I checked your blog and there you were. And I agree with you about the chords/cords and Tuscan/Tucson. Dammit! (Damnit?) I expect the news people to get it right, but they don't. Anyway, welcome back. I agree with you about Facebook; you can't have any kind of prolonged conversation. It's more like verbal jabs or interjections. Somewhat limiting. Looking forward to seeing further posts and was happy to see the fish fry calendar :)
