Spelling and grammar

[Cassandra]

After doing a real quick web search I have surmised that it is smiley and the plural is smileys. Humph, that just flies in the face of accepted spelling conventions. But then I also found "smilies". Oh, the horror of American English and common usage.

When he is learning to spell, I will try to remember to teach him the correct way!

I first signed up at BYC about a year and a half ago. When Brennan (my now 5 year old) would ask me what I was doing, I would say "reading about chickens." So now, each time he sees me at one of Nifty's sites, which all look similar, he asks me, "are you reading about chickens?"

He reads over my shoulders sometimes and thinks the smileys are funny. He asks, "What's that one doing?"

I just pulled up the reply box so I could show him the menu with all the smileys. He wanted to put the best ones in a box to show everyone.

Dac don't tell anyone but I use to spend hours trying to figure out how to spell words the way they sound to see how they looked. I know - but at the time I was bored.

Did you use or used to spend time?

I don't have to tell anyone, you already did.


Morel has a little blimp. I think she meant blip.

I can spell ghoti correctly but normal words just kill me.
