the value of good spelling

[llywela]

Just down the corridor from my office is a small room one of the other programmes uses for storing stationery. This week some well-meaning soul has labelled this room. The sign says 'Stationary Room'. So I am now having visions of this tiny room remaining still while the rest of the building revolves around it, or something. Amazing I manage to find my own office every morning if it isn't stationary!

Well, if Doctor Who is to be believed, Cardiff is located on a rift in time and space...

Spelling counts, kids! *G*

It is satisfying when something so simple works as a memory aid, isn't it? Nice to pass it on after all these years!
I can't say I've noticed any problems with your English, by the way and I think we've all got used to seeing American/English spellings, especially on LJ. Sometimes if I'm commenting to an American friend on LJ, I find myself thinking "I bet they think that's spelt wrong" but, hey, I'm English, this is what the English way!

centre is the one I have a problem with as when I html a document for preserving at MP ... I have use the American spelling 'center' otherwise the coding will not work ... it was very frustrating in the beginning. Naturally I am using an American program which is free so I cannot complain.

theatre is another word that I do a double take on when I see it spelt 'theater'.

All in all, it keeps me on my toes.
