Brian Bennett asks:

>Please supply others. My dept. is trying to compile a list.

I know Brian is writing quickly and colloquially here, and so "dept." is
perfectly acceptable, but the use of abbreviations in more formal writing,
which I see often, is one of my pet peeves.

Take care, and may your dog go with you,

Gwen
