...and you've missed my point completely.
I wasn't trying to wind you up at all, mr. serious.

Darn it ... your point must have been too, er, oblique for me to grasp!

So I just heard that hippophobia is the correct term for a fear of horses... (Etymology: Greek hippos 'horse' )

So then what would a fear of hippototamii be known as?

Prudentia?

Hippopatamus means river horse so would it be hydrohippophobia?

Not a bad attempt - I like this word

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Which is the fear of long words - how ironic is that. How is the poor sufferer going to say Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia exactly without breaking into a cold sweat

It's easy after a few beers Johnbhoy!!

How about the word Lisp having an "S" in it and Dyslexia being so hard to spell. Whoever thinks the names up for these disorders has an evil streak.

new question.
Can anybody suggest Amplifier settings / pickup postion for playing reggae style rythm guitar?

Topper

I would suggest avoiding the American Boutique Amps as they will have far too much potential for distortion. I think you are looking for a clean sound with the bias towards treble.
