Change the spell check language to British, or is it UK English - not foolproof as so many American spellings have now been incorporated into UK English that they are not always picked up. Bill Gates and cronies speak / write North American English, not UK English and have not edited a perfect UK English dictionaries

(Why did I bother replying ??) Haven't I got better things to do ?

Cheers

Man, in India I'm lost....American English or UK English....or is it something different all together?

But to stay on topic, do the light bulbs screw clockwise or counter clockwise in the UK? - Seems like one of us always does it backwards!

I've always spelled it with the 'u' but us Canadians like to put extra u's in a lot of words.

Although not Canadian, I like to use extra 'u's at the end of 'or' words... 'colour', 'armour' and so forth... although, my spell check DOESN'T approve...

Actually that should be: "compact fluorescent lamp" if we go by proper spelling.....

According to my spell check 'florescent' and 'fluorescent' are both acceptable spellings, so I would use 'florescent' instead of 'fluorescent'... you know, to save time...

Sweet! Good to know PB is not that far off of other forums.

(I cut & pasted from Jephro's post and didn't spell check)

Congratulations! You are the first to hit 500 posts!

I’ll buy you a beer in San Diego if you’re going to the CBC.

Thank you for the offer. I will not be able to attend again this year. I'll take a raincheck though.

Excuse me, that should be compact florescent lamp not lamps.

I like the 'curly' florescent bulbs myself... I don't like to change light bulbs. BTW. My spell check says 'lightbulbs' is incorrect!

I'll be happy to lock the light bulb thread.

That would be fun. I originally was going to change the content to reflect a beer industry version but am lazy and thought it'd turn into a flame war. I am one in the 13 that say do a search first!
