From Wikipedia -
Quote:
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses). The name influenza comes from the Italian: influenza, meaning "influence", (Latin: influentia). In humans, common symptoms of the disease are chills and fever, pharyngitis, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.[1] In more serious cases, influenza causes pneumonia, which can be fatal, particularly in young children and the elderly. Although it is sometimes confused with the common cold, influenza is a much more severe disease and is caused by a different type of virus.2] Influenza can produce nausea and vomiting, especially in children,[1] but these symptoms are more characteristic of the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes called "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu".

If he would just install the free IE Spell program it would fix his typing errors for him and not make his typing skills seem so pitiful.

You can download and install IE Spell for free from here -
http://www.iespell.com/download.php

It will not add more SPAM or viruses to your computing experience. It will not work for Firefox which has it's own built in spell checker if you're using the latest version.

It may not know the difference for the uses of panty or pantry but with one or two clicks you can appear to be a reelee gud spelarr.

I work with sick kids all day, so I have an immunity of IRON!
I also was required to get a flu immunization back in OCtober, although I hear they are only good for 4 months.
I do send a lot of sick kids home!

I didn't get the flu shot but have been taking vitamins and recently got some Airborne as well, although one does hear conflicting reports on whether or not it is effective. Anyway, still healthy.
