I know,I was just wasteing your time,hope you had fun looking all that up!
That's time out of your life I just wasted,something you will never get back. lol!

I prefer the native casinos myself,you can smoke in those not like the whitey gambling spots.

Good to know you wasted all that time googling it though,this is too easy.
... :roll:

Troll admits being a troll.

Good call.

If he ever spent time with them he would know this, unfortunately he has not.
What exactly does that have to to do with you spelling Inuit in the bastardized English way?

Inuit, is how the Inuit spell it.

Innuit, is how the English incorrectly spell it.

Kind of like...

Ohgwá:ih v Ohkwai.

Can you tell which one of the latter is the bastardized English word, and which is the traditional Onondaga spelling?

Of is this where you tell me I'm not Onondaga because I don't speak Inuktitut?

It's kind of funny sometimes. :D
Wife says "Anishinaabe", some Anish' people say "Anishinaabek", Canadian English say "Ojibwe", American English say "Chippewa". Simple reason is that people can only pronounce things the way they pronounce things and there is no "right" way, just an accepted way.

As far as I know, Inuit is the accepted Inuit spelling. Like Ohgwá:ih is the accepted Onondaga spelling of my name, like Koonz is the accepted Anish spelling of my sons name and of course I use Anish, because I'm just lazy, lol.

Yeah, I'm pretty lazy, too. Wifey and her Dad say things I just can't get my tongue around so I improvise rather than learn correctly. lol
