I have always wondered about the "British"-izing of spelling in the Neopian Times. I have heard people complain about it, though I haven't noticed it.
Well, after reading a huge article, with the main word mispelled in every instance, I have a theory.
I'll bet that non-British spellings of words like "colour" and "humour" are filtered! I always thought it odd that those words would be corrected, and grosser mispellings left as they are.
It makes sense, no?

Mmm.. (no, I'm not eating anything, it's another version of "hmm" or mmhmm)
Canadians use British spellings.......... (that's the best I could think of, really.)

Erf... I think it's almost like posting a board entitled, "Omelettes are NOT mega rare!"... it's just sorta common knowledge, I think? Or... well, what are you trying to say?

You're ever so helpful. I always make it a habit to read previous posts within a thread - it totally helps when you go to make a response. There, feel good? |
