Hi,<br>
<br>
Lets just hope no one lands on their fanny!!!<br>
<br>
I like to use 'u' in honour, neighbour, colour but I can cope with their omission and I'm becoming okay with meter and center and theater but I read that now fetus is acceptable instead of foetus and maneuver instead of manoeuver. Yuk!<br>
<br>
I really like old books which place the ^ above the o in words like hotel, oh and the eighteenth century texts which have the cool 's'es that look like f's (they have a name which I don't know.)<br>
<br>
Ah! ... English, ain't it grand<br>
