Not really Platv, just that you had a good education & were taught to spell correctly. It's our language & therefore that is how those words should be spelled - there I said it. I am a spelling bigotoops given my age away.
Bring it on yanks!
'aloominum' sheesh it's pronounced aluminium!
oh hang on there are loads more: petrol, boot, trainers, pavement and so on.
No I love you all really, I see language as an animal that grows & changes with time, we have to accept it's changes & see it as a means of communication, if you understand me then I am communicating well enough regardless of what words I use or how I spell them.
I just like to have a dig at the Americans from time to time
