As I'm such a terrible speller I take great pride in knowing one thing, the
difference between they're their and there. In the example above it should
be THEIR. Now watch me completely fsck up on apostrophes...

BTW, a colleague on OSX had a vaguely similar problem, he isn't around at
the moment, but IIRC it turned out to be group related...

Kind regards,
