Ok numbers, I now know who not to go to when I need to get my hands on a couple of melons....oooerrrr!

Second rate Carry On double entendres aside, I get broccoli, it's a word we might right down often i.e. shopping lists, but I suspect some of the other words people are citing are never written down, they just look like hard words to spell.

Jah and Chrysanthemums made me chuckle, they just don't go...unless he's started smoking them ;-)

It was a long time before a realised there was a difference.



There used to be a trader called a "stationer" (as opposed to one with a moving stall). And he sold "stationery". This helps me to remember.

I really have to think hard over licence / license. C for noun in English. S for adjective. S for all uses in American.


But in practice (or is it practise) S is often used for software licences even by English companies.

    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.
