This is not _always_ the case. In fact, I recently watched a commercial which appeared to have been deleberately processed in such a way as to make the words _difficult_ to understand.

Beltone hearing aids :-) (Their 800 number was on the screen in large print throughout...) -- ---------------------------------------------------- Gordon S.
