80% of my work in the last 3 years has been for China.

Shouldn't that now be CHina?

I'm impressed. It even reads like the Queen's English, as well
as making
sense and being accurate. Are you _quite_ sure this is a US
literary
product?

But of course! It's a proper, American Dictionary!
di·no·flag·el·late (dº"n½-fl²j".-l¹t, -l³t", -fl.-jµl"¹t) n. Any
of
numerous minute, chiefly marine protozoans of the order
Dinoflagellata,
characteristically **having two flagella** and a cellulose
covering and
forming one of the chief constituents of plankton. They include
bioluminescent forms and forms that produce red tide. [From New
Latin
Dinoflagellata, class name : Greek dinos, eddy (from dinein, to
whirl) +
Latin flagellum, flagellum; see FLAGELLUM.]

In that case it needs to be a good one: make _sure_ it
mentions the
_two_ flagella--I'd hate to shortchange any poster to this
newsgroup,
especially those who've razed the level of wit and invective
lately--and the way the flagella appear to thrash out of synch,
one in
a groove and the other spirally. The confusion is only
apparent, not
real: it aids their microscopic filter feeding. But the lasting
impression is still of a lot of blind, pointless thrashing
about.

Yes, well, there seem to be a lot of dinoflagellates in the
waters at
present...
