Although, I usually only use this term at work, I always, always have to think when I type, "In lieu of" or is it "In leiu of?" I before E except after C and then I forgot the rest. Another: Commitment/committment? TIS

FCUK Significant or Signifigant. In the world of Telephone Engineering we place cable in the air, on poles of course or in the ground - buried. Many people in the industry spell it - burried. I would ask them if that is like the cookies - Burry's.
