I'm sorry to admit that I didn't bother reading the whole conversation
prior to replying first. I mistakenly assumed this was related to some
planned documentation about EOMA, but it appears it was just iddle talk.
So please disregard and carry on, nothing wrong in using regionalisms in
a specific country... In French Canada we have a boatload of them! :-P

Again sorry,
