Perhaps not so funny after all.<BR/><BR/>In case it is of interest, the JustLocal site www.dictionary.JustLocal.com.au can assist in fixing the issue raised by anonymous.<BR/><BR/>As for misspelt versus misspelled, isn't it interesting we have two ways to spell many words. To me that was always confusing. I would go for misspelt as the most popular usage in Australia. It is the first listed spelling in the dictionary. As you say, both are considered correct.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day.Kelvin Eldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865583396682424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-55127705727343888852007-12-11T22:20:00.000+11:002007-12-11T22:20:00.000+11:00I wholeheartedly agree with you.
