Diarrhoea is quite a difficult word to spell. It's easier to smear it than spell it.

Unless you from 'Merica. Think they don't spell it with an 'o'.   :confused:

Good analogy though...  :wink:

Your so write, I ca'nt think off anything worse at work than people coming across like a 20 what litebulb!

I shudder also and hope that they use a spellchecker before sending the same drivel to customers.  :scared: :fighting2:

Could of/would of instead of could have/would have is one of my biggest pet hates.  It seems to be becoming more and more prevalent too.
