I can't remember the names of the involved but at a cont. ed conference the exact subject of saying 'mold like' vs 'mold' came up and to a jury in a large case there was no difference. Basically, saying the 'm' word, no matter how you say it, is enough to get you in trouble.

I call it a 'discoloration' for lack of a better term. There's really no perfect answer.... until we can fire up the time machine and go back and 'un-say' or 'un-write' what turns out to get us in trouble.

I think like most things in this biz, the chances are remote but it does happen to someone eventually.
