I feel the same way about mute and moot. Please, there is no such thing as a “mute point.”

Don't tell that to the housands of authors who publish in Braille and now want to pull your larynx out.

And it’s not “here, here,” it’s “hear, hear.” This is fun. We don’t want to insult other Freepers by correcting them, but every so often someone starts this type of thread and we can let loose w/o offending any individual.

I used to think that too. Earlier this summer I was standing behind a mute in line at a cash register. He was trying to return a music CD he had purchased earlier, but the seal on the case had been broken. The cashier would not honor his request. The mute pulled out his receipt and pointed at it frantically. Then he wrote down his excuse, which I could read from where I was standing. It said, "the seal on the case was open when I bought it!" If he was telling the truth, you have to admit that was a pretty good mute point. (true story)
