A lot of folks can't seem to recall it is spelled congratulations
instead of congradulations. And too many people think "alot" is one word.

No ice storm worries, but there was a large power outtage
a few nights back, unrelated, that might have made the
news. Thanks for asking.

Backround? Mute? (If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it,
is it a mute tree?)

People also have a terrible time with all right and already.
My fourth grade teacher, Miss Brennan, must be rolling in her grave.
