I used to be an English spelling and usage Nazi, but now, I feel, the important thing in a language is communication :)
Cheers, Deepa.
You should have included paddle also :p
SS...why not puddle, too?

Well, of course it is the wrong spelling and all that, but...since we do
know what's being referred to, and there are not going to be any marks
deducted for wrong spelling....just let it go Arvind! At least it's not as
bad as the person who said there would be free Tee-shits being handed out at
a cycling promotion....

Make sure you get around fast.... step on the peddle.
If you find two cyclists fighting, don't medal;
You don't want to win a posthumous bravery meddle.
While cycling, be careful to avoid deep poodles;
Avoid, too, each nasty biting pet puddle.
...I hope I've got all your words in a muddle!
Just prevented it from being OT by dragging cycling into it :)
Deepa.
English is a very phunny language !!!

Anyway, when you.re mountain biking most of those things are relevant. For instance, you can peddle drugs in your hydration bag by pedalling over a puddle and then paddle away to another country :p
so you can smuggle and peddle while you pedal and paddle . . over a puddle?
