it's such a beautiful day and i'm in a really low mood - for no reason. Well the work is going badly, for which read, REALLY BADLY, but that's no reason for a low mood. Enough self indulgent bollocks.
Being dyslexic I'm usually far from picky about spelling and grammar. But I'm trying to read an American text book and it's starting to drive me insane! Fiber - what??? FIBRE thank you very much. Color - now that's just lazy, COLOUR. Arrgggh. I may have to give up and just stop reading, either that or I'll tear the ruddy thing apart with frustration.

YES HURRAH WELCOME BACK LIPPY
Nice to be back Beastie, nice to be back
The Canuck shares your frustration.
How do you pronounce foyer? In the US they say FOY-er. Here we say FOY-ay.
What about the use of all those 'z's instead of 's's. I'm sure it's just so they score higher at scrabble.
mj - FOY-ay
But it's because you and I actually speak english, Americans just think they do, in fact they speak some other language which has yet to be indentified!
tick - yes and meaningless compound words with z's in them!
Alphabetize????!!!
"Put in alphabetical order" - much nicer!
We Canucks use "z's" instead of "s's too. Odd because we follow your spelling for almost everything else... colour,fibre, etc.
