On Thu, 27 Jul 2017 16:06:57 -0000, just as I was about to take a 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? The one for the language and dialect you speak, obviously. So if you consult an American dictionary you would start calling fringes "bangs"? YUCK and BIG SPIT. One would consult an American dictionary only if one wanted the American meaning and spelling of a word, obviously. 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. The thing at the front of the car is called a hood and the thing at the back of the car is a trunk. Boots are what cowboys wear on their feet and bonnets are what the cowboy's lady wears to church. -- Jim Pennino |
