***** You left out one other frequent misuse observed in Photo 3D. The
abreviation for *though* is *tho* not *thou*. Thou means the same as *you*
and makes it sound like reading the Bible. It never fits the context of the
sentences where it's used, tho after stumbling over it, one figures out the
intended meaning.
More thanks, ;-)
