Uh - when did "suck" become a 'bad' word? (Not that I think there's anything wrong with the other words you mentioned - particularly for 7th graders - but I am aware that many others disagree.) > I have never seen seventh grade boys run to the > dictionary so quickly!

After installing typespeed and doing a little digging (most significantly, `find / -name typespeed`), I discovered a bunch of wordlists in /usr/share/games/typespeed . words.eng is the english word list - edit it as you see fit. Alternately, you can create your own wordlist directory and put its path into either /etc/typespeedrc or $HOME/.typespeed.rc to override the default location, which saves you from any concern that the next upgrade of the package might overwrite your custom wordlist. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
