Dictionary:
macron
(m??r??n') pronunciation

Helping kid with homework, but bored. Tried to remember name of what-do-you-call-them the symbols denoting pronunciation. N.B.: the r is missing in the blue pronunciation guide (it sounds ok when the speaker button is pressed {do i hafta capitalize ok?})

On the other hand, I deliberately put a typo in here: http://resnet/cabletv/channel_lineup.asp
1) So I could gloss the article to trump my authorship.
2) To see if they noticed.
3) To make it something human done, not just automatically and blindly cut-and-paste robotics. See the boiler-plate http://resnet/cabletv/faq.asp#vcr_to_cable_ready_tv wherein they say to choose between channels 2, 3, and 4 when there is only one market, only one choice.

Uh, here's the question: http://www.usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/leavenotrace.asp
