Whilst not presuming to speak for brucie, I have been using the term for
some time - since the first attempts at a WYSIWYG word processor.

It's use is similar to your WYSINWOG (which is fairly new to me)

WYSINWIG - What you see is not[1] what you get.

[1] or 'nearly' in some circumstances.

Odd way of abbreviating the second "you".

Okay, so - "What you see is not what I get"

I like it.

Odd indeed. I can offer no justifiable reason for this behaviour - my only
(feeble) excuse is that neither variation has an entry in my spell-checker.
I have now completed the investigation, the offending finger has been tried
and convicted. In the absence of a pardon being granted, the offending
finger will be taken to a place of execution at dawn where there will be a
small ceremony followed by an informal wake with tea and biscuits as well as
the obligatory finger buffet.

ps: I should like to take this opportunity to thank e n | c k m a and the
rest of the team for their valiant, but ulimately, unsuccessful defence.
