-> nitpicking: don't think 'franca' stands for french, see >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca (I'm not 100% sure whether >you were implying franca stands for french or simply that franch was >lingua franca once) Actually, I did mean both, as I knew the franca part had something to do with the Franks which had to do with Gaul which includes much of modern-day France. I actually thought that's where the term came from. Merci beaucoup - I stand corrected. (Self-esteem about bottomed-out for the day.) :) - M
