And here's yet another old curmudgeon who would remind you that the  
correct spelling of grammar does not include an "e" in place of the  
second "a". Also, the correct usage is "people ... who" instead of  
"people ... that". Since we're in a glass house, so to speak, I'll not  
cast more stones.
