You might want to look in a recent dictionary. The American spelling is with
one R.



Sure Mike, whatever you say. I have three kids in
school, so we've got plenty of recent dictionaries
in the house, not to mention there are a few
on the net. If you have
a dictionary that says "embarass" is acceptable,
you really ought to consider replacing it.
If you ever find yourself having to write something
formal, and you rely on it, you could end up
looking foolish. Here in rrs looking foolish is
a requirement.

Steve, I never thought of that! J. Fred Muggs was
kind of beloved too, so maybe MWB meant his reference
to Dubya as a chimp in a kindly fashion as well.
Some people like Shamu, so maybe there's even hope for
you and Mike.

Regardless of what you think of them, calling your
opponents "bozos" in a national broadcast is not exactly
a mark of civility. I don't think it's fair to blame the
entire left for MWB's comments, and I don't think the right is
blameless when it comes to crude insulting characterizations.


Bozo is a beloved character. Perhaps GHW Bush was refering to Clinton and
Gore as such.

Really Fat Boy? Not what my American Heritage Dictionary says.

Must be another reason for not getting that PhD eh?

Be sure to tell those 'students' that you lied about that PhD Fat Boy!



They've seen your accusations and we've all had a good laugh. They wonder why
you seem to make a career out of making false accusations and idle threats. I
tell them that it's probably just a reflection of how your probably angry that
I have a job and that you don't.

Have you tried Monster.com?

Hey, Oz, before you look any more foolish, try punching the word (with only one
R) into a search browser. If you're correct you should get no hits, right?

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.

You can't even tell the truth either!

Not necessarily Fat Boy!

I'm sure they have Fat Boy, much as they've decided what to think about
you!

You're a liar and a fabricator! Proven facts!

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.
