<br>
<br>P.S.
<br>
<br>> Consider a sentence I read in
<br>>today's Knoxville News-Sentinel:
<br>>
<br>>> It plans to add some technical employees in the Knoxville office, but
<br>>> the firm is not interested in growing a large employee base.
<br>
<br>Seems to me the Volunteer just wanted to prance around on the keyboard with
<br>a new term.  I don't think the term fits here.  Kind of like when Americans
<br>20 years ago started using the before-then-British 'early on' to mean
<br>simply 'early' rather than 'in the early part of a development.'
