If you use the shell, you should know how to spell it! (Those who don't
have web or other access to the archives are grudgingly exempted.)

in zebra, and d like t. At least that's how Andreas Ess, Austin Butler,
and I say it. Hehe, argue if you want, but I don't care.

bother me nearly as much as the spelling! :) Just so long as I pronounce
it right.
