    Spelled is the action, spelt is the description. Both are correct, depending on the originally intended context of his sentance. :wink:

    So, in summary, he spelled spelled wrong. Spelled is spelt spelled, not spelt spelt.

    Furthermore, sentence is spelled sentence, not sentance. :D

    By the time i noticed that, i'd already been quoted. I'm actually pretty useless at spelling. :-(

    Oh and yes, in summary, 'you spelled n00b wrong' and 'it's spelt n00b' would be the correct terms. Sorry LDN, i have failed you... :lol:

    Yes it does seem that what started off as a lovely touchy feely reaching out (not around) to new members and blushing first timers turned into a rip roaring pish taking thread.

    I am so proud I could cry.

    But I won't as I'm nails.

    So just making sure I'm RIGHT

    Spelled = Owned and I out pedant Ducky and Ldn-Flyer. Not that I'm keeping score or anything - that would be shallow....

    I got lost pretty much as we went into

    Those of us who've seen GT's chest up close at the last Morpeth drinks are still in therapy, please try to steer clear of the subject for a while, you've just set me back a couple of weeks and my therapist isn't cheap.

    We can play a game if you like, If you can guess the size by the pressure of them on your back I'll take the orange out of your mouth.
