Greg Arce Inner circle 6732 Posts	Posted: Jun 22, 2004 04:51 pm 0 Think of this: If you said the short version of HELLO to many people you would say, "I just said a lot of HIs." Don't pronounce it like HIS And HERs, but like H-EYES. Greg One of my favorite quotes: "A critic is a legless man who teaches running."

JJDrew Loyal user Arizona 221 Posts	Posted: Jul 7, 2004 08:13 pm 0 I got NOBODIES as an answer at first glance. I thought the key was in the term opposite and figured, as his is possessive, the opposite would not be hers, which would still be possessive, but nobodies, which describies lack of ownership. It works but obviously wasn't what you were going for. GOODBYES is much cleverer.
