...is a girls name. The word is "surely". It has less letters so will cause less RSI and keyboard wear. OK?

Big problem here is I can never remember how to spell surely as it reads sir-e-lie to me.

To me surely should be spelt shorly to be accurate to the spoken word.

Shirly you can understand that?

You must be joking, Shirley?

It's just a bit of fun after as mentioned above. Some comedy sketch where some bloke says <Blahblahblah, Surely?> to which he replies <blahblah, and don't call me Shirley!>

Actually "HTH" are my initials*. I was just signing off.
