K9trnr:This is still quite juvenile, but I'm curious what spelling errors were found. Were you referring to "offense"? If you check Merriam Webster's dictionary, you'll find the following:
Main Entry: of·fense
Variant(s): or of·fence /&-'fen(t)s, especially for 3 'ä-"fen(t)s, 'o-/
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin offensa, from feminine of offensus, past participle of offendere
1 a obsolete : an act of stumbling b archaic : a cause or occasion of sin : STUMBLING BLOCK
2 : something that outrages the moral or physical senses
3 a : the act of attacking : ASSAULT b : the means or method of attacking or of attempting to score c : the offensive team or members of a team playing offensive positions d : scoring ability
4 a : the act of displeasing or affronting b : the state of being insulted or morally outraged <takes offense at the slightest criticism>
5 a : a breach of a moral or social code : SIN, MISDEED b : an infraction of law; especially : MISDEMEANOR
- of·fense·less /-l&s/ adjective
Were you suggesting offense was incorrect? Broaden your horizons. Expand your vocabulary. Open your mind. Consult your dictionary before you put emoticons that show a bare ***** and call into question your own command of the English language. There's apparently a serious crack in your understanding of it, but the bare ***** emoticon is still uncalled for. I won't debate further here because it's a waste of time. I just hope you'll crack open a book before you attack someone.
OK, I spell it "offence" as indeed, my (English, not American English) dictionary does. As for the emoticon, that's SB's not mine, just look to the left when you hit the reply button.
In fact, I didn't know of the "s" varient in spelling, so fair enough, you widened my horizons.
I intended it as a bit of humour (yes, with a "u")which you evidently failed to grasp.
Calm down, no-one died.
