The College gradu-ate news anchor in McAllen Texas told us on-camera
repeatedly during the morning newscast.

The Pope *beautified* three saints yesterday.

After my second fax with the definitions of beatify and beautify, along
with a suggestion that she frame it for her wall, she called me with
tears in her voice. "You didn't have to be so mean about it." she
hadn't noticed the difference in the two words on my first faxed
message.

Had I simply said
Beatify=
Beautify=

She would not remember.
