[Fmpro] spell check!

[GH]

Not to worry Todd.  We don't spend a lot of time doing lyrics anyway.  ;-\

I used to work as a linguistics consultant and comforted all the
English-as-a-second-language folks with the fact that English has one of the
worst alphabets in the world.  Therefore your missive with the two
homophonous morphemes.

BTW - I think my editor friend would want you to hyphenate "suck-moment."
