Not sure if I'm just weird ... but it makes me want to 'lose' my marbles! So do 'there, they're and there' used interchangeably, as let's not even go near 'your' and 'you're'.

My Afrikaans spelling and grammar are better than TSC's and it's his first language.<br /><br />Bagman and Butler: I get such a kick out of the word verifications, I must say.<br />They often sound vaguely rude though.<br /><br />Louisa: I get them all the time ;-)<br /><br />Damaria: You are welcome!

Those ...I may have done a camoflush... not telling! Those words are pretty cool, they should be allowed in with all the other big shot words that make it into the dictionary. That lose loose thing is a lost cause seriously. Half of the pamphlets, posters, websites, etc in the UK spell it wrong, and if they can't get it right in the place that invented the language, then we are doomed.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042240151520157703.post-24490301592861239762009-11-06T18:13:42.150+02:002009-11-06T18:13:42.150+02:00kwa kwa kwa TOTALLY love this post.

Without it we would still be speaking in "Thys" and "Thees" or maybe just grunting.
