> Not to mention the confusion of the words "careen" and "career." "To careen" means "to lean or tilt." "To travel at a great velocity" is to *career.* As in: "The car careered down the raceway." It didn't *careen* down the raceway.

Yeah. That's the same sense in which *I* have a career -- a haphazard, uncontrolled headlong flight in no particular organised direction. ;-)
