Glen, Morten might have meant Italian 'quattro', where two 't's occur, as
far as I know :-), so you don't have to object to his spelling, I guess
(well, just if, of course, he really wanted to write Italian quattro and not
Spanish /quatro/, as you write it, which, by the way, is often, if not
always, written cuatro, as far as I know, and I don't know much, I admit)
