    That was great, makes your eyes water a little, (also doing the up the fly on my trousers to quickly has the same effect) it's a bit like one of those Magic Eye puzzles.

    I have never been a good speller.(had 3 spelling errors in this post alone)
    But you know you’re really bad when spell check doesn’t even know what the word is.

    I can't spell at worth crap! You folks here prob. have seen my many mess ups. almost every post I post here I spell check, and then hope I don't have a word that's close to another word and I post a completely wrong word

    All through grade school I just didn't get spelling. I do have to say that posting on message boards have helped me a lot, since they challenge me to spell words that I would skip over in everyday life.

    and yes I ran this post through spell check also and nothing seemed to have came out wrong ... yay me

    "Route" is one of my pet peeves. "Rout" is an entirely different word, not an alternate pronunciation of "route."

    The American spelling and pronunciation of "aluminium" became popular because of advertisements by one of the earliest commercial producers of the metal. It may have been a typographical error.

    It's just a movie flubber considering Scotty is actually Canadian and pronounces most things North American-ish

    Watch Austin Powers and you find a million of them too

Also the way Picard pronounces route...seeing as he's french it is more proberble he would have learnt the English(UK) pronounciation.......rant over....and i'm spent

    "Receive" is my Lex Luthor in this world and I use it hourly.
    My system is set to U.K. English, but I've made it learn so many American spellings that it's really "Universal" English (and why do we need more than one English language anyway?). Noah Webster's "reformed" American spelling irritates me (except for the elimination of the conjoined letters æ and œ), so I use the U.K. spellings generally.

    I was taught in elementary school that "catalogue" was the correct spelling, so "catalog" looks to me like a deliberate misspelling being foisted on us by the media.
