Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 Hello rennie@... (Rennie), In reference to your comment: è Does the doc say both mushy and mooshy? Mushy is è so commonly used and communicates well that I'd just è put mushy. If he said mushy AND mooshy, then I'd è have to go with quotes, " mushy and mooshy. " I don't è think there is a better way to spell these. :-/ Just my è newbie opinion! He only said mushy... the mushy/mooshy was mine, trying to figure out how to spell the darn word :/ Until I got an answer, I put mushy in quotes in the report so I could find it again. I'm now wondering if I should leave in quotes or just leave it as mushy. Sheesh. Jan " Typing is my life " (said sarcastically) Remember...

Mushy says having the consistency of mush, and mush is defined as something soft and spongy or shapeless. Moosh or mooshy not found.
