Subject: I had to turn this in already....SM

Hi,

My QA person marked only 7 items tramscribed wrong--don't know how that could be, but I'm not gonna' argue with her, lol.

Two of the dictators were ESL's, which didn't help matters. But it turns out that my 3rd was an absolute dreaaaaam boat of a dictator, almost made me want to tough it out and do more ops...probably NOT.

Thanks for all your attempts to help and give support regardless.
