I think so - but I'm basing this on recollections of a paragraph in one of Bill Bryson's books, which I read five or six years ago. So I may be talking pants.

Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Thrive to spite them
I use nonUSian spellings for certain words, it's been srewing with my typing, I don't even notice it and I'm not sure how I picked it up but the spelling just seems natural to me.

I had to set my spellchecker to recognize custom spellings, because I got tired of "judgement" and "grey" getting tagged. I am mightier than the Spellcheck.

Fay, if it's any consolation, your Icon, "Keyword: Bound", did something very mushy to my insides. I should spell that mooshy.
Er, sorry, carry on.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
My fun with the spellchecker is when I get to add words to it. Like "asshole." And "fuck." And "motherfucking fuckwad." And "snark."
I get much joy from that.

I was quite surprised at the number of obscenities I've had to add to the dictionary. Not shocked, just surprised. I suspect I am no lady in my work.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

You're not alone. I use a UK spellchecker for the current series, and I was absolutely livid to find that it refused to recognise "gobsmack".
I added it. Take that!

Deb, my husband (aka the librarian) asked if I could show him your page, and I can't find the link. Could you post it again?
