Thanks, I used the WordWeb dictionary on this XP box to see if there
were two "t"'s before I made up the Tagline.

It showed one "t" so I wrote it using only one "t".

Also, the word "Discuss" is a play on the word "Discus".

The Discus disk weighs much lighter and is easier to throw than the
Shot Put's Put.

When I looked at the three lines Ted Harvard, Jan van den Broek and
deKay wrote, I saw some humor in it and just had to make a Tagline out
of it.

Mark, You know I don't have a lot of sense, most of mine is Nonsense.

I'm not smart enough to remember the spelling of every word, It's hard
enough to remember the words I use when I post BBS messages, and then I
often make mistakes.

The Wordweb dictionary is offered for IBM Compatible PC's, Mac's and
iThingy's and Android's but not for the computers Commodore built.

I use it a lot of times when writers use words that I never heard B4.

www.wordweb.info is where I found their Free version to download.

... This computer has a nut loose on the keyboard!
