Will,
Quite the contrary, regarding your spelling. Check Webster's New
Collegiate Dictionary. Break: to stop or bring to an end suddenly;
halt; interrupt or suspend.
So, your application of the word "breaks" was not incorrect.
(read again my previous e-mail to you, if you can tolerate the
humor (?)) ;)
