Thanks
for the clarification. Those darn words like see and sea, flee and flea can be confusing. If only they'd thrown an 'L' into 'mute' instead of a 'T' it would be a 'mule' making a moot point .......and I suppose we'd all be further confused

Thanks E-mum. Talk about a pet peeve! When I hear people saying "mute" instead of "moot" it drives me crazy. The two are wholly unconnected to each other. I work with someone who consistently uses mute instead of moot and, well, I'm too polite but in my head I'm busy correcting her.
