"Larry Ozarow" wrote in message ... Mike, thanks for the ad hominem. Now, try punching the words "acceptible," "irregardless," or "accomedate" into your web browser. Did you get any hits? Sure you did, and guess what? None of those words is a real word or an acceptable spelling of one. Web browsers don't spell-check, they just return lists of web-sites where a word or phrase appears. A lot of people use these words, or commit these spelling mistakes, and your browser, like a good robot, just reports them. If this supposed American spelling is real, why can't you just return a simple link to an actual reference site that says so? I did look the word up, as I implied in my earlier post, where I said I had current dictionaries in my house, and none of the dictionaries I have, or could find on the web, listed "embarass." Here is a link to a site called "Searchspell," a commercial spell-checking product www.searchspell.com/word/wordem/embarass.html It uses "embarass" as an example of a common spelling error that it will protect its users from. Everyone makes spelling mistakes and typos. Why can't you just admit that you were mistaken or just skipped a keypress and let it be done? Instead you have to make up a factoid about British vs. American, or drag in an irrelevancy like web-hits. You don't need Steve Lare, you are your own worst enemy.

This is a foolish thing to argue over, but you seem to have a dire need to prove that you are always right. Take the browser test. Both spellings are correct. One is the American version and one is the British version. Context: Why does Lare always use British spellings? Have a nice day. And, really, look it up in a dictionary. A former spelling bee champ that can't type, Spelling bee champ my ass. More like spelling bee chump. |

Don't you academic types just hate it when you get caught? It must suck more than getting caught in a motel room smoking pot with you students! Damn! |
