I was really making light of the small number of antennae destroyed, not the misspelling.

I wasn't sure which spelling was proper...or if both are.

I think the numbers are probably much different now. Advantage goes to IDF. Heard today that 20,000 artillery rounds have been launched by IDF.

As far as spelling, I should always pay attention to Firefox beta 2.0's spell checking capability and it will guide me right.
