Re: "FER CHRISSAKES WHY CAN NOBODY ON THIS THREAD SPELL "CEMETERY" CORRECTLY ????????????"

1.I ask why someone has to take Christ's name in vain and to start shouting and to waste precious resources such as question marks over the simple and natural tendency to spell something the way it's pronounced.

2. Thanks for the contributions. I had forgotten spotted dick, and I'd never heard of boiled babies. Clearly people are proud of these names.

A verbal collection like this, derived from language, is a good kind to have when you live in a small place. It only takes up room in your mind.
