And while I am at it - ...ize for ...ise (socialise, sympathise...)! I know it sounds like a Z but what's the fun of having impenetrable word creation rules if you are just going to spell things the way they sound?

Damned Americans. You got the colony, leave the frigging English language alone!

Oh don't be 'rediculous', post away! That one is my top pet peeve on misspelling. Please oh  please the word is ridiculous. 'i' not 'e'.


As always.  It is 'I' after 'E'.  Except in "Budweiser".

John Wayne's real name was "Marion". He didn't mind a bit of camp, once in a while.

We say "petrol" you say "gas", as if it were a fart. We say "fart": you say "gas", as if it were petrol. You say "'erb"; we say "herb", because there's a bloody "h" in front of it.

Ad infinitum, guv'  .

PS: I add, in a spirit of fairness, that I find "ass" a million times sexier than "arse", which rhymes with "farce".

The world is a strange place....We say ass that rhymes with lass that rhymes with mass...Now whether it be I or some priest unloading a mass in some lads or lass' ass....Makes little difference.

I have never been to mass. But I've been To Mass. "Well I never been to England..But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas...Only made it out to Needles."
