Riddle? #2 (permalink) Thu May 25, 2006 9:48 am   Riddle?
 

Hi Michael

I'm going to stop calling you "Landlubber" and sart calling you "Mr. Eagle-Eye". :lol: ;)

If I tell you that "sart" is a typo, can you figure out what it should be?

Hi Amy,

And there was me thinking it was a near approximation of me trying to speak with an American accent for 'sort of' !

Hi Alan

My first reaction was in fact "sort of"! But then word "by" sort of killed that idea. :lol:
