yes, I'm on a PC. There is no 'preferences' on Google groups where
you can say 'text wrap' NB is the only one, apparently who has a
problem. I see my posts look like everyone elses.

You didn't have any problem adding returns in that message.

Pecan pie and return - Two ideas that don't much go together. I don't
think I've ever returned a pecan pie.

So is it "pea-can" or "peh-kahn"? As long as it's in a pie or ground
into nut butter, who cares.

A Pee-can is something a trucker keeps under the seat.
A peh-kahn is a something you eat, if the squirrels don't find it first.

I suppose you could use a bottle, but it's easier to fling it out the
window when you're done if you use a can. HTH

I've lived in the South all my life and 'peh-kahn' is the way folks
around here pronounce it. Pee-can is the way television personalities
pronounce it.

The Merriam Webster online dictinary gives three different
pronunciations, pi-kahn, pi-kan, pee-kan.

Then it's pi-kahn, here in Maryland.

This post line wrapped just fine. Are you on the same computer as
before? I've only noticed two that did not wrap and it was just
today. I don't read every single post of yours because they often
have a reply already. I just skip to that since most people can't be
bothered to trim and I'll get your entire post anyway.

The reason even your posts that didn't line wrap come out looking okay
is that they are line wrapped on reply. At least that's what my news
reader does.

Around here it is called a puh-kahn.

I've never thought about how I say it except pee-kan drives me nuts,
so I don't say it that way. I guess I say pi-kahn too.

We didn't really have a vowel at all in the first syllable where I
grew up. It was sort of p'kahn. So whether it came out "uh" or
"eh" or "i" didn't make much difference cuz it was so short -- just
as long as it weren't "ee". :-)

This one is fine but you've got a couple posts up thread that aren't
wrapped properly. It's not just NB.

Let's look at it from the opposite view.

You post from GG. I routinely KF all GG. You and a handfull of
others are in my exceptions to my GG KF file, Nancy2 being another.
Her posts wrap jes fine.

I can push a single key and wrap your posts, but why should I have to.
I have to do this for no one else but you and haven't had to for
years. What makes you special? In fact, what makes you different,
now, than a few weeks ago when your posts wrapped jes fine?

Sorry, but I haven't changed a damn thing in a couple yrs. You?

Well, I'm at home now, on my Mac. So let's have an experiment and see
if this shows up as text wrapped or not. I think it's some kind of
glitch in the server at the office or something.

I'm sorry nb.....I have no idea what happened. As I said in my
previous post, I was on the computer in my office and it could be some
glitch in that computer or the server. I'm at home now on a Mac and
Google does not have anywhere you can see preferences or tools to
click text wrap. I don't know what else to do and I'm sorry if you
are all hot under the collar about it. It's not intentional.

and what key is it that you can click to change to text wrap?????

I use the newsreader client, slrn. If posts are not properly wrapped
by the poster, like yours are not, I merely hit my w key and they
instantly wrap on my screen. Your posts wrapped jes fine several
weeks ago.

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Pecan pie is a favorite desserts during both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its flaky crust and delicious, roasted pecan filling will have everyone asking for another slice of your masterpiece. Nothing makes a better table center during the holidays then a fresh pecan pie. Pecan pie is a custard pie made, as you might imagine, with pecans as a the focal ingredient. Traditional pecan pie is very rich, thick, and somewhat sticky, and it can be extremely sweet.

Likewise. Being from CA, I've heard it pronounced so many different ways, probably
don't say it the same way, twice in a row.
