    flavour vs. flavor

    etc. etc.

    I've been back in the states for 10+ years, so I've mostly reverted back to American spelling. But just don't ask me to pronunciate 'capillary' or 'skeletal'.

        I had a Canadian professor in med school who confused everyone with "capillary".

            I do not mispell words.
            If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

                Yep. I still do a second look to make sure I don't spell 'medecine'.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                            I challenge anyone on this board to find even a single occasion where I misspelled a word. (Simple typos don't count.)

                                    I don't know about your spelling but it wouldn't take very long to find a grammatical error.
