Hi Gerry & Carmsman
Thanks so much for the enlightenment. I laughed so hard when I read your
instructions. I did try it and I understand why Welsh is so difficult for
people like me. I remember my great aunts and uncles
trying to teach me Welsh words when I was a child and the delight they would
get when I tried to pronounce them. It brought back a lot of good memories.
I am sorry for the English spelling, I won't allow that to happen again.
(Llanelli)
Thanks to both of you
Larry, Tucson
