I suppose, but I think my brain must be wired differently,
because I can *never* understand this stuff without staring
at it until my eyes bug out of my head. :-(

My wife is the same way. She tells me she can "see"
correctly spelled words in "her head". I've never
seen a word, correctly spelled or otherwise, in my
head, ever. I've memorized every single word I know
how to spell by writing the damn thing about a
million times.

I guess that's what I'm going to have to do with
this Reform-Rebin nonsense, too. :-(

Cheers,

David
