Spell Cheque

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot 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 error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Join the club Although I always get mixed up when talking to Americans about dates. I automatically calculate 04.05.06 as May 4th, 2006. Apparantly they reinvented dating formats at some point for some reason -- so 04.05.06 means April 5th They just want to be special.

(Edit: By the way, I've moved this to Canadian Culture forum).

In Word Perfect it highlights Canadian words as miss-spells, like neighbour, arbour, etc. It drives me nut.

I was thinking about this the other day and realised there is actually a logical reason for something the americans do:

when you say the date, usually you say something like "may the fourth, 2006". Put it in that order and you have 05-04-06. not illogical.

i am surprised

Thanks Andem, was a good move. While funny it seems to have hit a nerve in the "English English" department.

Theres a lot of logic to the way they spell......doesnt make it right though does it?

For example, Aluminum, that's thats the original and logical way of spelling it, it's just in Queen's English, it's Aluminium...just to be different, I color and colour (I dont pronounce it colOUR, I pronounce it color, but I still spell it colour).

It's just like Forrest Gump says "some things just don't make no sense"

doesnt mean their wrong though

 

[Andem]

Our format of date, actually most of the Western World's format of date DD.MM.YY makes the most sense in organisation. Think about it, day is within a month, and a month is within a year. A month isn't within a day

Date and Time

Today is 06/11/29 16:12 hrs. International format is the way to go. :evil3:

An American in England

An American visiting in England asked at the hotel for the elevator.

The portiere looked a bit confused but smiled when he realized what the man wanted.

"You must mean the lift," he said.

"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the elevator I mean the elevator."

"Well," the portiere answered, "over here we call them lifts".

"Now you listen", the American said rather irritated, "someone in America invented the elevator."

"Oh, right you are sir," the portiere said in a polite tone, "but someone here in England invented the language."

Bloody Yanks, they revolted in 1776 and have been revolting ever since.

God was showing of to his angels his latest creation. "Behold a world of balance. In the north snow and ice. In the south sand and heat. With mountains tall and oceans deep." Looking down the angels asked "What is that beautiful part?" "That is Canada, a place of great natural beauty with mountains tall from ocean deep to ocean wide stretching from the north to far in the south," he replies" A place of openness and acceptance that produces vast amounts of grains, minerals, oils and woods". "But where is the balance?" asked the angels. "You should see the loud mouth b@st@rds I'm going to put beside them." said the Lord.
