Any astronaut ones? - aviators are old hat now!

I dooo understand R2. That was just toooo nice of an exchange for you, huh?

It wasn't my intention to p|ss on anyone's bonfire, I was just pointing out in a friendly way that Aviator isn't the same as an Avatar. Perhaps you didn't notice the at the top of the posting.

R2

Totally illogical, I know, but if someone writes 'aviator' I read it as 'aviator' as well - maybe this is just a Limey trait that I share with R2?
The only exception is that is someone writes 'definately' (ebayese) I read it as 'defiantly' (English) instead of the intended 'definitely'. S'pose there is always an exception.......

Here's a great aviator who should make a pretty good avatar, too.

Cute, cute avatar! It is a shame puppy isn't here!
Actually, R2, no, I didn't notice it! My deepest apology from the far most crevice of my heart...or something like that!

Maybe the spelling trait is because Brits are more rule oriented and Yanks are more incentive oriented.

The most all-American of the Yank aviators.

Ahh yes, Chatter, tis true!

That’s not a very good picture of Janet Leigh.

Possible, Rick. Must admit that Yanks are generally better at spelling than we are, although using the wrong word is not really misspelling - those that do, do it to the spoken word, like Mrs Malaprop.

We have a friend who does this on a regular basis, usually with names of people and places:
Gorecki becomes Gore-tex, Salutation Inn becomes Saluchoochion Inn, Suilven becomes Sullivan, etc.

Don't forget that from the late 1950s, it was decreed that teaching English grammar and spelling was unneccessary in English schools - a fatal mistake as now we rely on the written word more and more.

Employers interviewing school leavers have despaired at the lack of literacy for a long while!

You only have to watch a news broadcast where some so-miscalled 'celebrity' is being interviewed, starting every sentence with 'basically' and ending it with 'right' to despair as to how these half-wits are being paid more than the minimum wage.

I'm always getting my mucking words fuddled!

I debated using the word “spelling”. I also debated using the words “the word”. I even debated the ““””.

I like rants.

Did not think my simple question would cause that much interest!!!!! sorry that is what I thought they were called. Can't find avatar in dictionary

Kind of sad when you think about it.
