Oh, I think I asked for it! The pitfalls of unthought out mails when the
supposed mind is elsewhere..

Yeah, okay, so let's take "toe" and "too" ( I mentioned "pot" and "put" in
a monumentally stupid effort to get the difference between "o" and "oo"
across, not that it was needed -- as if folks didn't know! But i digress)

My Zoo-ey  has the "too" sound and not the "toe" sound. But then that's
what the whole debate, I realise (after opening the dreaded by Mark can),
was all about. Oh my very subtle attempts to be very unambiguously clear.

Chanting yes, ofcourse Zoo is like"too" and Jo perhaps like "toe" so Zooey
is, well Zooey, and
not just mixing up the vowels,
and planning to sleep it over 
now that it's about dawn,
