Yes it makes you the spelling police. Brake is what you do with right foot peddle as in " When I brake my Spyder it comes to a full stop"
Break is when you are not careful in taking off the wrap around plastic piece that goes under the trunk latch a one of the tabs snaps off. "It is easy to break off the plastic tabs if you are not careful"

Break your Brakes and tell me how that goes. I'm taking a break from bad brakes, ordering new rotors and pads just for the upgrades since I stomp on my brakes so hard so often....:shocked:

:roflblack: I learned how to type in high school and was quite good at it, I can not type on my phone though and I need to add a disclaimer that says “if something I typed doesn’t look right just replace the letters in question with the letter closest to it on the keyboard.

In the US we say “spelled” not “spelt”.

It might be because we enjoy 'freedom of expression'. That has led to great innovation in the use of the english language :joke:

I agree. If your participle is dangling. That sounds like a serious medical condition to me!

We can forgive the British Commonwealth countries for mispronouncing "aluminum" as AL-U-MIN-EE-UM since they spell it that way, "aluminium"! But how the heck do they get "LEFT TENANT" out of "lieu........"?

I know you really meant propositioned, but accidentally hit the wrong key since a preposition is something else altogether :thumbup:

While we are at pronunciations, can someone explain to me how the name Brett Favre has come to be pronounced Brett Farve ? I know he even says it that way. I think I know why but always have been curious about that.

Probably because to them, a 'loo' is a toilet?
"In British slang, of which there is a great deal, the word loo refers to a toilet. I assume they do not want to give the impression that a leftenant is a resident of a toilet as in loo-tenant."
