2 Things: The spelling of the word 'Building' and games for adults

from WinCustomize Forums
Ok... I am a weird guy. Everyone knows that (and yet I still get the ladies!!!!)

So here is my issue. I like to spell 'building' as this:
Biulding.

I like the way it looks and its far cooler than 'building'. I also have grave feelings about how the word 'Wednesday' is spelled. And don't get me started on January. I was upset for a few weeks because I had to spell January in a log book.




Second subject: Adult Games
===============================

I heard that the new 'in' thing to do is play Dodge Ball! that's right Dodge Ball. I LOVE DODGE BALL!!!!

I happen to think its the greatest game ever right behind that game where you have to toss a ball around to each other but when you catch it and toss it to the next person, you have to be in the air.

Anybody played Dodge Ball lately? There is an on-line groups for it and there might be a national league for it too.

Re #25, combining a series of statements punctuated with a 'comma' traditionally culminates with an 'and' [or 'or'] between the last. 'And's used earlier in the listing is a poor grammar choice.

To elucidate, 'one, two, three, four and five' is correct when 'one, two and three, four and five' is not.....

Of course, it is weird that 'I before E, except after C' doesn't hold for 'weird'.....

The words "capital" and "capitol" have messed with my head forever.

Also, why is it "Any one person" instead of "Anyone person", when it is "Anywhere you want to go" instead of "Any where you want to go".

Just in case anyone wanted to know, because I used to make this mistake, it's "a lot" not "alot".

Finally, when it comes to speaking the english language, up north here, we butcher it.

Jafo:

I believe that there is a comma after the word just before 'and' as well...

('one, two, three, four, and five')

Affect vs. effect, is one that has always affected me.

Effectively, 'affect' is what you do, 'effect' is what you have...

Yup Nighttrain there is going to be televised Dodgeball on GSN (Game Show Network). I think its a bit too simplistic to be a pro sport though. Also I never much liked it, since I was a weak kid in school and got pounded easily and often lol.

Actually, #25 does contain the conjunction ''and'' between the penultimate and ultimate items in the list "...and the misspelling of differentiate''," being the ultimate item.

Actually there are two lists the first enumerating and categorizing errors, the second a list of inclusions in the last category. Since there are two lists, there are two conjunctions, each appearing immediately before the final item in the respective list.

Grey or Gray?


I personally like the word Grey... and colour. Colour makes sense.

Think about it, the word lady. Doesn't anyone think the word actaully looks like a woman? The shapely 'd' and the long 'y' legs.

And the 'a'? You gotta love the 'a'.

You guys see it don't you?

I think it really goes "I before E, except after C..." unless you are German, and then the whole rule gets thrown out.A good example is my last name, Stein....There is no 'C' but the name is most definitely German...

agree with spelling of colour(old english) and grey better than gray.
