I was doing a little research and digging to maybe be of some help to Craig on his woodwork job. 4/5/02. Bill responded to Craig and correctly advised him that this problem has come up in the past. Bill suggested that Craig search under the titles "Cockpit Coaming" or maybe "Coaming" I did the same and no reference could be found.Hmmm.
Then I tried another way of spelling the same sounding word. I typed in "Combing". The dam broke, all sorts of info came tumbling out. I think, what I am trying to say, is so many words we hearwe can easily repeat verbally , others know what we are saying and life goes on. However, so many of us have read "combing" as the spelling of choice and it was repeated over and over until it6 has become the spelling of choice. Please don't think that I'm a know-it-all, I don't want that. The bottom line is that Craig is working on his comming,Bill advises him to search under coaming. But if Craig wants some real info, type in combing. Oy veh already.
