HIvqa' vqlargh (that's for typoing "luck").
That's one of the reasons I was willing to take this on... silly me. But
then, I have allways been a good guesser... I think I better get another
copy of TKW to peruse...

Ah, thank you ghunchu'wI'! (You DO realize that I will ALWAYS associtate
that name with yoU? :) )... now I don't feel so bad about missing it... but,
it was still incorrect for the context where it was presented. Well, maybe
not... I think that was in his .sig file, which I could see as being acceptable.
I guess this is a good opporuntity to give a caution to our Beginners (even
they are even FOLLOWING this thread to this point!):
If you are quoting something out of ANY canon source, unless it is something
like a toast or a replacment proverb which must be said EXACTLY as they have
been handed down to us, make *sure* you check the verb prefixes for
"you"/"all of you" ("you" singluar / "you plural). Either that, or make not
that you are adressing just one person...
Or something. {{:)
