i for some reason enjoy surly's outbursts. i'm not sure if this is the case but when i write i tend to want to spell certain words (theatre, colour, poast, shoppe, ect…) as if somehow connected into a pre-british invasion of that anglo language of long ago. is it to convince one's self that it appears that of a "higher speak" like those old throwback, fifty-cent words i somehow feel are necessary to learn?

Who said Hitler? You said Hitler.

Are you are trying to censor me?

No, I'm only waiting for you to start comparing us to Hitler.

Dupek, you can't be a martyr to free speech advocates everywhere when you practically beg to be banned from the site. It's bordering on pathetic at this point.

And why would you think that? Do you have Hitler on the brain?

A long time ago in a galaxy far away, hoya said that we shouldn't use the 'H'-word unless speaking about genocide. I agree.

And by facist, do I mean Hitler???

No, there are a slew of them available.

By 'facist' I mean you.

it may come to that… if same attitude and behavior were to repeatedly displayed to a 9:30 staph member in the club, that person would most likely find themselves being shown the door.

This may be a bit of a stretch; according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "post" was spelled "poast" only during the 1500s and 1600s.

"Theatre" and "colour" are standard UK spellings today and reflect the influence of French, from which both words derive. (The lexicographer Noah Webster strove to rescue English from what he saw as the corrupting influence of the British aristocracy, opting instead to spell things more like they sounded.)

The OED doesn't even list "shoppe," except to note it as "an archaic form of SHOP n. now used affectedly (as in the names of tea-shops, etc.) to suggest quaint, old-world charm. Cf. OLDE a."

To me, the spelling "poast" implies some kind of combination of poaching and posting. For some reason I don't mind it. ;)
