You saved a LOT of people on Tiki Central much heartache and we are all very grateful. Wow, MUST'VE is a contraction of MUST HAVE!? Who would have thought that? (or should it be "who'd've thought that","who would've thought that", or "who'd have thought that"?) We need to contact the music industry and make sure they change the words from "I've Been Working on the Railroad" to "I Have Been Working on the Railraod". Don't worry Cammo. Data on Star Trek the Next Generation couldn't (a contraction of COULD NOT) use contractions either, so you're (a contraction of YOU ARE) not alone in your (NOT a contraction of YOU ARE) affliction. GROG miss Tiki-Kate OOPS! Edited to change "we're all very grateful" to "we are all very grateful". Damned contractions, they're everywhere! (Crap! There's another one--and another one there, too!!)
