My sincere apologies to Teunis for mispelling his surname, and my thanks to
Ross (who is also a top Aussie) for spotting my error and pointing it out.
It’s doubly embarassing for me, because I managed to get it right once in
my post.

Misspellings can indeed be embarrassing!
As for “doubly”, that is how I prefer all of my music.

I thought, being a seppo, you’d spell it “dobly” ;)
|
<looks up “seppo”> Ahh, well, then now, I don’t quite get your winky. I was
making reference to an infamous gaffe from the movie “This is Spinal Tap” where
Jeanine pronounces “Dolby®” as “doubly”.
Sorry to be so obscure with my references.... I tend to wrongly assume that
everyone knows that movie backwards and forwards. (Everyone, should,
IMHO:-)
