thank you guys...i like dubious company...smile...they are the best kind...of course i say that being that i'm what most refer to as dubious company. Another question: can speakers of Irish Gaelic understand speakers of Scottish Gaelic...or is it merely an accent thing. My future son-in-law speaks Gaelic and many other languages but he's not a native speaker so his accent is a bit different I'm guessing. Jayha
