And why do some people spell "favorite" and "color" with a "u"? "favourite" and "colour"... That's just wrong!

Don't labour the point, OK?

"Irregardless" is another annoying word some people use. Just say "regardless"!
And some people seem to use apostrophes whenever pluralizing a word. "I have two dog's!"
Another annoying thing is when someone contracts "I have" when "have" is the primary (?) verb: "I've a cold!"

Very good point !! Some of us haven't had an English class in 50 years so it should come as no surprise if some of our spelling is a little off or our grammer leaves something to be desired. The purpose of language is to communicate, however, it probably doesn't hurt to have a grammer lesson now and then. Bug A preposition is a word one should never end a sentenace with. Hope I spelled the second word in the previous sentenace correctly.

Did you mean start me on inflammable and flammable, or is this some of that subtle British humor us Yanks seem to have so much trouble understanding ?? Also should the two words, inflammable and flammable, start with capitol letters in the middle of a sentenace??

Yeah, Bug, I do. I did not expect to participate in this thread without someone pulling me up about something. If it has to be being right, so be it.
Did you spot the deliberate mistake?
