Anna, Couldn't help noticing the irony when you said this: >In Finnish, the word "avioliitto" means "marital union", >the official, traditional marriage that an authority >figure (spiritual or civil) has confirmed and sealed. >The word "avoliitto" means "open union". >There's only a one-letter difference between the words. As long as we're playing with language, note that the missing letter is "I". {grin} Mr. J.
