I think you meant " strait ".
I don't often point out spelling errors, but I will make an exception
for straight/strait. Strait means constricted and the garment is a
straitjacket. A strait can be crooked as cat ****.

Wow, a typo.

Um...to most of us a typo is hitting a key when we intended to hit another
key. Adding a couple of extra letters to make a different word is not a
typo.

I sometimes make similar mistakes, but my excuse is that I use voice
recognition, and straight sounds just like strait.


Rite on Dave, thanks for the clarification!
