yeah, that is why I said "believe" to back me up instead of being a smartarse with dictionary definitions

I still think the technical term is probably without the gh.

However, it has morphed into being acceptable through common misuse. OR, the opposite, the common misuse of straitjacket has made it into the dictionary.

Anyhow, all that matters is "Straitjacket Fits" is without the gh. One of the best bands, if not the best, to come out of NZ, and one of the best bands in my cd collection.

I can't believe that we are currently in a vibrant PM discussion about how to fix all of cyclings evils (and then cure cancer), and in the public forum here we are arguing over spelling and telling everyone our favorite rock bands and CD's.

I don't have much to add to this forum so I hate wasting anything I say that MIGHT be of any value...
