They are definitely less common than the two or three letter type (HT) and I can understand why one wouldn't press too hard in affirming a possible/probable instance (I use to actually mark all of them with a "?" unless they were singular readings).<br /><br />My intent therefore is not to disagree with you, indeed they are rare relatively speaking,--And yet I've found hundreds of them and would estimate that they make up approx. 10-15% (+or-) of all hom.tel. errors in general...and so, they may not be quite as rare as was once thought.Matthew M.
