Hmm. That's the first time that I hear that aluminium :D is spelled differently in North America.
I think the British spelling sounds nicer.

It's kind of embarassing to admit, but when I'm actually "printing" words with a pen... I still get me d's and b's backwards :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:
I think I have some type of dyslexia... when I turn to new pages of whatever (ie instructions, newspapers, webpages..) ... I always start from the bottom and work my way up :conf:

I used to spell definitely wrong all the time. After fighting with T9 for almost a year, I started reminding myself that the to spell it right all you need to do, is use it's root, finite.

Even better is how often (and it happens A LOT!!!) ppl mix up "than" and "then"... UGH! Huge pet peeve.
ie. "I'm smarter then her" .... WHAT!?!?!??? NO YOURE NOT.
You're smarter THAN her! .

We're gonna get along *just fine* me and you, Rach! ;)

dont kill me, but LICENSE is wrong! Its the american spelling.
Its "Licence" with a "C" in Canada (when its a noun)
If its a verb, THEN we use an "s"
ie. "I'm licensed to sell drugs" or "Licensed Public Accountants"

I catch myself all the time, when writing something down, staring at a word, thinking it's spelled incorrectly, looking it up and finding out I had it right in the first place.
It's always stupid, monosyllabic words, too.
And I'm right on the homynym (there's a word I can't spell) band wagon as well...
Missed/mist
There/they're/thier
like that drives me crazy.
AND FOR THE RECORD:
'Jack dived in the pool.' NOT 'Jack dove in the pool.'
Dove is a bird and a brand name...not a past tense of 'dive'.

I always kinda knew this, but glad to see it confirmed.

No. Both are acceptable.
