[Elecraft] New wierd K3s behavior

[Fred Jensen]

Decades ago, a good friend who was a Royal Lao Air Force officer asked 
me if I would assist his daughter with English in preparation for her 
secondary school admissions examination.  I realized early on that I was 
heading for failure while we were on formation of plurals ... dog/dogs, 
cat/cats, person/people, goose/geese, moose/moose, sheep/sheep, ...  The 
Lao language has no plurals so we were starting from scratch.  It was at 
least an order of magnitude harder than O Chem and we hadn't even gotten 
to "i before e ... or not, you choose."
