herb, disturbed my reverie and wrote:

The dictionary is the authority on the correct spelling of words

So one chooses the dictionary that matches one's argument? Which
dictionary?

So if you consult an American dictionary you would start calling
fringes "bangs"? YUCK and BIG SPIT.

They are not "movies", but "films".

Don't get me started at the misuse of the singular and plural cases of
verbs when discussing singular entities. For example, "the
Conservative Party are...", WRONG!

I feel better now. Thanks Gareth for providing a thread in which I can
vent my spleen.

I find it interesting how UK hams spend as much time bashing other people as
they do talking about ham radio. In fact, I believe it is *more*. Is this
an old wives club?
