Your are right, Uncle Al, it is prostate.
I think that many common misspellings are the result of mispronunciations.
However, the news about breast cancer and prostate cancer is not good whether it is pronounced or spelled correctly.

Re: Spreading the Word
Come on folks, give him a break, he did a typo. After all prostrate is very similarly spelled to prostate. Don't make him prostrate himself until his prostate hurts over it. He prostrates himself too long we'll think he's a Muslim. By the way, I think I heard somewhere that the Muslim countries men have a larger than normal incidence of prostate cancer from prostrating themselves at the mosque. I may be wrong.

Re: Spreading the Word
Ok, shoot me down from jumping on the bandwagon, but since we are all in a pedantic mood: I think you are referring to a mosque, Skip? I think it is Hindus who use a temple.

Oh bum!
I wasn't even drunk. just had a brain full of squiggly maths. Yes I prostrate myself and ask for your forgiveness, I do know how to spell prostate, its the word that isn't prostrate.
