Two points:

1/ A definition:

Typographic | Ty`po*graph"ic |
(?; 277), Typographical
| Ty`po*graph"ic*al |
(?; 277), a. Cf. F. typographique.

1. Of or pertaining to the act or art of representing by
types or symbols; emblematic; figurative; typical. Obs.
--Johnson.
1913 Webster

2. Of or pertaining to typography or printing; as, the
typographic art.
1913 Webster -- Ty`po*graph"ic*al*ly, adv.
1913 Webster


2/ Next minute you'll be telling us all that the expression "to populate a
directory" is also a "basic grammatical error".

LOL - and you'd be wrong!


And, FYI, I wasn't attempting to smeer your reputation. I simply stated a
fact. *I* am GLAD that I did not buy anything off you. I offered no
comment on your reputation as a seller of merchandise.

To have trolley buses and overhead wires beats having only diesel
powered buses and no citylink. However, how's Cafenet going?

And never quite made it up to Korokoro where I lived, as I passed that
big black cable every weekend on my way to work at the airport.

I guess cable will be superseded by wireless technology in the near
future. I presume it's cheaper to create a wireless network than a
wired one.
