Bad Spellers UNTIE!

Just noticed the BIG mispelling on my last post. I spelled Quantitative "Quantitive" Praise cheeses that the GRE doesn't test spelling (though I guess they sortof do in the composition part - oh great let's add that to the ever expanding study plan).

I am, undeniably, a southerner - we either like to add letters to words or sound out EVERY single vowel (i.e. my father and his brothers insist on calling Walmart "Walmarts", our President's pronunciation of "nuclear") or we like to remove letters from words whenever the mood strikes us -

But, hey, we aren't the only ones to add letters just to add letters. The British spell favorite "favourite" and color "colour" so there. The tie that binds us goes further back than cotton!

Of course, they then decline to pronounce EVERY single syllable either.

Well, whatever, I am embracing my heritage. I am also avoiding my hour of GRE study. Time to stop procrastinating (ha - spelled that one right!)
