Thanks Des I just put it in "my favoUrites"

Did u fix this Bob? By using quotations, u are stating what your computer says. My IE at work says "favorites". So by quoting, you were correct. Best way is to put (sic) after it, so we know that it was on purpose.

If someone else edited it, for shame

i think Bob B and Queen9 should get married

[bennymacca]

bacon, "favorites" is the American spelling, because they are too dumb for silent letters. british/australian spelling is with a "u" in there

[Bacon]

so do u write 'Victor Harbour' because harbour has a U, or 'Victor Harbor' because that's what it is called?

If my folder on the computer says 'favorites' and i wanted to link to it, using a u would cause all sorts of problems.

BIG HUGS FOR BOB!

Seeing as we're on the topic... dictionary.com is an american dictionary but it often has the English equivalent listed as well (if one applies).

For example:

"color" is the American way of spelling "colour", which is how you or I would spell it.

color

–noun

1. the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and brightness of the reflected light; saturation or chroma; hue.
2. the natural appearance of the skin, esp. of the face; complexion: She has a lovely color.

skip a few...

20. Heraldry. a tincture other than a fur or metal, usually including gules, azure, vert, sable, and purpure.

And beneath all the other stuff we see....

"Also, especially British, colour. "





P.S. Bacon - nice try mate.... the name of something has nothing to do with spelling. It's a name. How many American children do you think there are called Shawn ?

And updating the scores, Bob is now level at one apiece with Big Pete.

Love it.

Pete, there were letters to the editor when "Pearl Harbor" was released at the cinemas, with them complaining about the spelling of harbor.
