Well I'm feeling generous today, so I'll even forgive regional variations, such as the American tendency to misspell certain words to make things a bit easier for them. That's fine.

It's the undeniable spelling errors that make me quake with rage and attack cuddly toys with a scissors! Wait, I've said too much.

There is one word that I have never known how to spell. It doesn't matter if I look it up in a dictionary, or if I look at the album which bears the name... I will instantly forget and mis-spell it hours later.

The word is "graffitti" / "grafitti" / "graffiti"


No one knows which is the correct one. It's one of mankinds greatest mysteries.

You should give three strikes and auto-ban everyone who uses Princebonics, ian.


I already do, unofficially. Sure I might pretend they are being banned for some minor flaming misdemeanour, but you and I will know that was for offences committed against the English language.




Just wondering if you had to look up misdemeanour because that word is one that I might have to (spell/check) myself on.

No, I'm fine with that word. It's the "graffiti" word that screws me up.

I can't spell worth a damn. So I don't hold it against others when they can't either.

I don't know WHY I can't spell. . .I read all the time, I have a decent education. . .

Too damn much time spent on the org with you idiots, THAT'S why! wink

OOOH. Good call. And far more common than one might think.

That was one of mine!

I also hate it when people mix up "feel" and "fell"
