Hi: The first thing I've got to do is SPELL it right: DEHWELANS, not the
way I spelled it in my e-mail. I substituted a familiar diphthong "WH" for an
unfamiliar one, HW." I hope I didn't "start something." I'll have the whole
list misspelling it! Sorry. As Samuel Johnson explained his orthographic
ignorance, "Sheer ignorance, madam," so do I.
