As a Brit, I get quite irritated when people tell me I'm spelling words like 'colour' and 'honour' wrong. It's especially annoying when Microsoft Word corrects me. Those are the correct English spellings, and it was our language first! Ha ha.<br />I can't believe some of the mistakes on this list.

As far as the "jewellery" spelling, I DID find it on the internet. It was unfamiliar to me. If you happened to be axing me, you may use it as you wish. :) The Red Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592028875791966803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495891438053844318.post-49208567588706595112014-01-08T14:56:53.586-08:002014-01-08T14:56:53.586-08:00I love this post ... with just a couple of excepti...I love this post ... with just a couple of exceptions. These days people are often referring to the brand name Duck Tape when they talk about duct tape, so you could allow a little leeway there. As for "jewellery" ... that is the British spelling of the word and, as a Canadian, I will fight for my right to not be declared wrong in my usage of it. And (yes, it's acceptable to begin a sentence with "and" ... I looked it up) one more thing - I am surprised you haven't included the common Axe vs Ask quandary. That one truly drives me insane! 0_o<br /><br />Great post! I'm looking forward to reading more. :)Nancy Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03222153128636012228noreply@blogger.com
