My math is that lousy?  (-:

I was seven when the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor.  I can still hear
President Roosevelt's radio speech in my head, believe it or not.  Six
months earlier, I lost my father.  A few years ago, I decided to find that
speech on the Internet and was surprised at the number of mistakes in the
text that appeared at various sites.  I finally found an audio file of it. 
It's about 7mb.

The mistakes I saw at some sites reminded me of the flap I created when I
insisted that Thomas Jefferson's actual word in the DoI was
"inalienable."  Everyone corrected me so that it read the more
popular "unalienable," but there was no such word at that time,
so we can blame the word change on John Adams.  (-:
