    UM thanks for the English lesson but the word "mute" is defined as unable to speak, and the word "moot" is defined as not worthy to be discussed.

    I dive at five.

    I have dived at the quarry

    I dove yesterday in my wet suit.

    I failed english in highschool

    I think you should have received a pass!

    You are correct and spotted my, obviously, deliberate mistake?

    Said mistake being to start typing without engaging the brain.

    The only reason I caught it was because I do the same thing and catch all sorts of grief for it.
