Even more sad to socially degenerate to having a tantrum like a child when an INSTANT reply is not forthcoming. From a woman in her forties?
Life passed you by Debra? How are those virtual sad contacts working out for you? Just blessed, truly blessed that my life is not yours!

But does it really matter?

Do you have an example of a spelling with s from the nineteenth century? It would be useful. By someone you know can spell of course. And yes, you should know that on these Boards we can argue for months over the smallest things :-)! And it does reflect on other claims the poster may make if they post inaccurately.
Best wishes

P.S. Also, if you accuse someone of being in the wrong(and rather rudely at that) you should be quite sure that you are right!Last edited by curious4; 11-13-2015, 06:31 AM.

The grammatically correct term for the British is spelt. The Americans use spelled as they consider spelt a food stuff. So you are either American and don't know the differences (some do, some don't), or you are British and have dropped a clanger.
You seem to have difficulty keeping up. As has been posted more than once the document I am talking about is from 1887 and was a major piece of legislation.Last edited by EmaEm; 11-13-2015, 05:37 AM.

PS Your failure to quote correctly is confusing. Such tardiness reflects on your standards, and is really unacceptable.
In addition, when I stated that a post went through without me finishing it, it would be normal to accept that, but you stated that it was an excuse. That is just silly and objectionable.

Originally posted by EmaEm View PostObviously, because you accused me of making an assumption that you were British. I cannot be blamed for making an asumption [sic]. I did not, I read it and took it as fact. It also means that either you did not know it was on the internet, or you did, you are British, but did not know that I had read it. Alternatively, of course, you are not British, and the posted information is wrong.

The British use spelt, (which is grammatically correct). The Americans use spelled, because they consider spelt to be a food. This means that you're either an American who doesn't know this (some do, some don't) or you are British and have made a grammatical mistake.
