Default Spelling Error

Has any one noticed the the desciption of of this forum, Gossip, has a spelling error in it? It says "let the whol world know" instead of "let the whole world know". Just thought I should point that out.

Yeah, I just saw that... and on the forum, IDM tv says ITM tv!
It doesn't really matter but I said I'd say it anyway!

I used to see those sorts of little mistakes everywhere but I'm so used to them now, especially in my schoolfriends' work, that I just ignore them

Another thing that annoys me is n the magazine when...SOMETIMES!!...they say "your" instead of "you're" but it's such a great magazine that I ignore it...

You're right. That's a very common mistake that one sees everywhere in the media. "Your" as in "This is your dress" and "you're" is short for "you are". And "practise" the verb and "practice" the noun, but I believe that is not the rule in the USA. I hate spelling mistakes too, especially when they are made in public places, so that young children think they are the correct spelling.
Long live IDM!

It seems we are all either good with words or numbers. I am DEFINITELY not a numbers person - I can't even do Sudoku. But I will play Scrabble all day long (Mini2z and I always have an email Scrabble game going!) And I read dictionaries for pleasure. Of course, now and then you find a bright person who is good at both!

Oh you must know all the meanings of all the big words. Are there any words you do not understand.
