You're right. When I did my initial check, I was using ieSpell (with the U.S. English dictionary. -- When I switched to the Canadian or U.K. dictionaries, it told me MY way was wrong. ) I didn't notice that when I used the CD spell checker, it didn't catch the "misspellings". (Actually, I guess it wouldn't, since all of them were inside [quotes].)

Greg,

Did you ever consider that someone back in the history of the States had to start these misspellings, and thereby changed the whole course of American English?

Your constant prodding to spell things "correctly" is probably retarding development of the language immensely! 200 years from now, your descendants probably won't even recognise "CUL8R".

wlel I konw taht I can raed. And if you can raed tihs tehn you can too. Terhe was a sudty taht dalet wtih the hamun bairn, and how it raetcs wehn wrdos are msisellped. As lnog as the fsirt and lsat lteters are the smae as tehy nrmolaly wulod be tehn a preosrn can raed it.

So basically this just shows that spelling really doesn't matter at all.

So do the UK teams.

It's only us folks here in the States who don't understand the Kings English!

Good: We got rid of kings, just so we don't have to put up with weird spelling, warm soft drinks, organ meat, and driving on the left.

Bad: In return for giving up royalty, in exchange all we got was fast food, harsh vowels, and the Kennedy family.
