OffTopic > You say potato....

#31497 - blinky465 - Sat Dec 11, 2004 12:20 pm

I say potatoe (but honestly don't spell it that way!)
just being pedantic here, and sorry if it gets anyone's back up, but maybe contributors genuinely don't know (and given the number of times this word appears on these boards, perhaps someone has already picked up on it, but here goes):

definately is spelt d.e.f.i.n.i.t.e.l.y.

it's definite.
With -ly on the end.

Please don't take offence, but if someone submitted some code with a bug in it, and others repeatedly copied the mistake, you'd want to be told, wouldn't you?

I'm off to sit with the other saddos on the nerds table now....

That's the problem with the world. First america starts spelling colour as color, cheque as check, and specialise as specialize. Now the whole world wants to follow suit ;)

Hmmm... I guess your rite. (That aughta get somebody annoyed.... I can't stand seeing people spell like that, and actually think it's the rite way too due it.)

And who can forget THIS classic:

I halve a spell checker
It came with my pea see,
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew not sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say,
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long,
And eye can put the era rite
Its rarely ever wrong

I've scent this massage threw it
And I'm shore your pleased to no,
Its letter perfect in every weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

Nose? Bee? Too long? Did you actually like Pinobee or something?
