Wow!  26 September's List was full of great stuff for a non-techie.  I am 
developing a morbid fascination with .9999 C (having already inquired of a 
technologically oriented friend (rna, Beth) what C was.  I offered to quote 
him text as an aid in defining it but he very kindly explained that C was 
not a recondite designation.  Such a nice man.)  

Jo and Leslie, I don't think the mahendo'sat can be Canadian.  The Canadian 
'a is pronounced "enh."  Trust me.  I have a dear friend, a Litvak (sp?) 
princess from Montreal, who ends every sentence with enh, rather like an 
aging, delicate hockey player.

Are the hani perhaps Australian?  Loud, rude, prone to colorful language?
