    You need to ask (p38arover) Ron about the AULRO course in Internet Spelling.

    I'm sure he can help you in finding blinkers,,,

    A friend told me I was!

    One that gets me is used all the time in news broadcasts "contr-A-versy" instead of "contr-OV-ersy"

    It's got nothing to do with the English speaking world - it's the AMERICAN speaking world that's stuffing our language.

    And don't get me started on grammar and punctuation... especially on this forum.







    Yes people, I know I started that sentence with a conjunction. I was just trying to make a point.

    My wife made me watch a movie that was set in the American Ghetto, Ill be buggered if I know what it was about or what they were saying but all I got out of it is they all seem very angry and every sentence is ended in "ho". I do not look forward to my kids having that language forced upon them

    Sadly, it is...

    language correction is tiresome and futile, language ignorance is pervasive

    however i must 'correct' some previous 'errors'

    just is jest, australia is straya, million is meyon, Land Rover is Lan Drover,

    evolution is...

    (and my favourite annoyance: decimated, which means to reduce by 10%, but is often confused with obliteration)
