After 20 minutes he returned to the stage but was unable to finish a song.- Dutch football legend Coen Moulijn suffered a cerebral infarct today.

But can you please tell me what DDNP stands for (because I have a real difficulty translating it). Some would call it a typo, others would call it a brain fart. I call it agraphia (a condition similar to aphasia): the loss of a previously held ability to write. I intended to write PNDP, but for no apparent reason it came out wrong. Of course I couldn't be arsed to check what I wrote, so I never spotted the error. You did. I suppose that's a Good Thing. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
