Can everyone start being more pernickety about spelling? It's amusing me.

Seen recently near Angel Tube, a pub advertising TV sport featuring the 'Egland Team'. Of all the words you would expect yobs to spell properly.

Who's "everyone"? Anthony SPECIFICALLY ASKED that we correct his spelling: so far, only The Pinefox has been kind enough to oblige.

And Pinefox has done an admirable, albeit ineffectual, job.

Amnesty. See - that's how you spell it. Yep, you got it right the first time.

No loosing was probably brought on by a particularly assenine comment article in the gaurdian yesterday by david Mckie.

I emailed him telling him what an assenine article he wrote once, he wrote back and told that he knew.

The reason I asked for a spelling amnesty is because I can't.

Spelling pedants suck, unless specifically requested like the Pinefox and Anthony. It might be spelt wrong, but if it's clear what someone's saying just let it go.

At this website I used to go to there was this guy called The Spellchecker, and he or she was rather fanatical about checking spelling...I know my spelling is bad sometimes!

Why is Nick D sending blank posts to ILE?

So you don't get leany-over oil running down into yr handsome fur.

Pinefox - you need to print this page out and then get one of those pens that reveals invisible ink!

― james e l, Friday, 13 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I did ask but if it is annoying everyone i could rescind my offer.

― anthony, Friday, 13 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

No, I think you should try harder - that is, misspell more words so that the pinefox provides us with more entertainment.

― Josh, Friday, 13 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

If you spell it "ammonesty" people will run to you just to give you a hi-5.
