Re: single boiler machines
I discovered what a spelling snob I was when I gave up my 20 year accounting career to study commercial cookery last year. It has to be said that chefs who teach cooking dont have spelling as a job requirement. My first teacher (who would be known to a lot of people in food circles) was a poor speller, and I would correct his spelling for him on the basis that he was teaching a lot of teenage apprentices incorrectly. Then I realised that while I could spell all the fancy terminology, Id only ever read the words and had no idea how to pronounce a lot of the French terms - very embarassing. So every time Id correct him he would come back at my pronounciation. I now work for him and while my pronounciation has improved out of sight, the same cant be said for his spelling.....
Brett, Ive used Viviane as my "net-name" for three years now, mostly in rpgs and youre only the second person to guess where it came from. Viviane (Lady of the Lake, King Arthurs aunt and Lancelots mother) would probably say that as long as you are understood it matters not how you make yourself heard. On the other hand the language has changed so much sincer her day that she wouldnt follow this conversation anyway. She wouldnt have even heard of coffee, poor woman.
