Ha ha! Told you I make spelling mistakes. I knew I would be in trouble! However I have a pefect excuse. I am a foreigner and had all my education somewhere else. So I do not feel embarrassed at all!

Moose,

You didn't make a mistake - if you scroll down that link, it actually says both spellings are acceptable, hence the smiley!!

I am absolutely tolerant and understand that people make mistakes. I make lots of them, being in the rush and so on.. However I could not let GRAMMER pass, seeing it misspelled so many times . We are after all on the site dedicated to GRAMMAR not GRAMMER schools.
I thought it was a website for helping not humiliating! :cry:

I can spell when I use pen and paper, I just go haywire when I try to type!!

Moose, are you going to blame your lack of tact on the fact that you're a foreigner?
