But Carolly, all the meanings of plaster clearly means somewhat the same (even to be plastered as in drunk, he's drunk "all over") A better analogy is type, there you have a botanical meaning of the word, and one, typeface (font once again) that has apparently nothing to do with it. And then you can trace both back to something that can use the synonym "sort" A sort of letters and a sort of flower. and he's not my sort of person. Wax isn't a good example either as the two meanings you sketched here are a noun and a verb. Good for word games and puns, but... ;o) But font has 2 different origins, one old english and one vulgar latin (french) - and still both of them will probably show to go back to a mutual latin root. Sorry I'm not that good at explaining these things in english :o) I hope you get the idea (and sorry for having wandered so far off topic)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
