No really, I can spell. I just can't type or proofread very well.

Want proof?

rum - a drink made from sugar cane. r-u-m.

editor - someone who edits shit writing like Sloth's. e-d-i-t-o-r.

I should have replied to this along time ago....when I was a young radical left winger with a real desire to study politics and become part of the brave new future, the even more looney left winger that was teaching me British political history used to describe the Guardian thus, " a newspaper that gets up everyday to wrestle with its conscience and looses."

Did you know it started off as the Manchester Guardian? What you may recognise as Thatcher stye free market capitalism used to be known as Manchester Guardian Liberalism? For many years it was the paper of record for the Liberal party in England. Which means something quite different than "Liberal" does over here. Same applies to the word "consevative."

It is probably best known for spelling mistakes. So much so that it is known to Private Eye readers as, "the Grauniad."

Speaking of Private Eye, Paul Foot died this week. He was a campaigning journalist of the first order. Sad that I am unable to think of one of his calibre on the Seattle times. Private eye is a great read. If the PA are interested Iwill fill you in on this grreat publication.

The Guardian is my favorite paper. I like the Times too. The UK has the best newspapers.

Still, bad spelling is a ominous sign of commie onanism.

Maybe we could build a spell-checker in to the BB of BB?

It might overload and blow up the whole thing, and that's if McCutcheon has had only one bottle of wine before he posts...
