Hello all, well I got to thinking this morning and I just wanted to apologize if I offended anyone with my rants and bad grammar.

I remember back to when I travelled to England and I know what its like being in a different country, its not always what its cracked up to be. Like that panic I had when I arrived in Heathrow and I honestly thought I'd taken the wrong flight and ended up in Pakistan. I guess the impressions that I develop in mind about how things should be can be somewhat easily distorted. I really didn't intend to offend anyone and i am truly sorry :)

Just watching the news and there was an item about Canadian spelling.

The issue is that words like colour, neighbour, favourite etc are being changed in some text books to the American way - color, neighbor, favorite.

Now from a personal point of view it doesn't bother me either way - each to his own and all that. The issue arises when they then interview the Alberta education minster and ask him "does he think that keeping Canadian spelling is important"

His reply?

"Why, it doesn't bother me either way"

What the hell sort of example is that to set?????? Whether you decide to spell it one way or another - of course it should f****g well bother you that there is some unity across the province and country ffs.

I don't know why this angered me so much but if you can't agree on the basics of education what else can't you make your mind up on :frown:
