Radd_stuff May 28, 2011	Nice one, i really liked it
dalfamnest May 29, 2011	Thanks, Radd! The 'inspiration' for this came from listening to my wife (not Casey!) trying to spell our names over the phone. We live in a non-English country and she's usually very good ... but occasionally... Anyway, I'm glad people can enjoy it!
princess2007 Jun 29, 2011	OMG! I loved this! I never got it but the answer actually made me smile.
gghali Jun 29, 2011	Great job! Took me a while, but I really liked it.

doehead Jun 29, 2011	That was great in 2 ways. It was new and it was creative. Although I didn't get it , Ienjoyed it. The lady from M is up early today
Jeppydog Jun 29, 2011	Most original and interesting teaser ever! I got it too. And it's funny because it's about clarifying something and muddying it at the same time... very clever.
auntiesis Jun 29, 2011	I was on the right track, but didn't follow through. Very clever.
here2 Jun 29, 2011	thanks. I enjoyed it. I knew someone who used to do things like this. K as in Knowledge. P as in pneumonia. N as in Nary. I guess it helps to have twisted friends.
phyllisa Jun 29, 2011	I liked it but thought of yacht becasue of the silent letter. Good teaser.
bradon182001 Jun 29, 2011	You totally got me with this one. Never would have figured it out. Thanks for posting.
