P.S. How were you spelling it before, because my Random House dictionary is spelling it "ad nauseam."
I was spelling it "ad nauseUm." With a "u". 'Cause I'm stoopid.
Hey Matt,
Yer mizpelling Ad Nauseum. U writ it now Ad Nauseam.
[Actually, I hadn't noticed the mistake...]

Yeah I have to say I thought you spelled it wrong on purpose as well.
