Erie, You got it right. I have misspelled Rivet--Rivit, also! Look, the danged things are pronounced RIV IT, not RIV ET. Here is another example of how english is a stupid language!!! However, I can clear this all up for you. Rivet was originally a French word which was spelled rivette and meant; little round thingy that gets pounded on that is fluffy! Naturally when the English started importing rivettes they changed the spelling to Rivet. <br /> <br />I have found in my New Custer's Last Dictionary that rivet is spelled both ways, RIVET and RIVIT, so we're all right! What a happy ending to this story! <br /> <br />Erie, when you going to tell everyone about your brother being Niel?
