ORIGINAL: slaveboyforyou No tyre and cheque are British spelling variants. They are not archaic spellings. Archaic spellings are fine if you are using them as a literary device, which you clearly are not. If you're an American, then it is pretentious to use British spelling variants. Also again, capitalizing common nouns is not done in any language. Your analogy of vampires to the once heavily debated germ theory of disease is laughable. It's akin to drawing an analogy between paleontology and cryptozoology. The folklore of vampires is no more rooted in truth than tales of fairies, leprechauns, goblins, genies, ghosts, werewolves, swampmen, reptilian humanoid hybrids (I have met lunatics that believe that they secretly rule the Earth.), or any of hundreds of other ideas that have sprouted from people's imaginations. But is it as far out of question as someone caring what an inbred, hunt for deer off the porch, marry your cousin, practically 3rd world living Arkansas person thinks? Again, you have not seen it so you dont believe it? Air is a myth and so is gravity right? Im not saying that I am careful in dark shadows and full moons, (well for more than the crack head who may want to rob me) but damn, such a closed mind doesnt leave room for much.
