 AK>> Their mothers often make them eat their food. The epidemic of

Be simpler! If you can say an idea in a simple way it is not necessary blame 
yourself. Greatness is in simplicity! ;-)
BTW:
-ubiquitous

 AK>> And people who refused to smoke now have a little choice in
 AK>> replacing it with something else. :)

 AS> And people who *have* ceased smoking now have *but* little choice
 AS> *of* replacements.

IMHO "stopped" is better than "ceased". ;)

 AS> My correctios are amentable to correction from other readers!

-corrections
-amendable

Bye, Anton!
