Though she still has someway to go ... putting the 'a' in the word for starters!

Do you mean that you, an American, pronounce realize as "reel - - - ice" .. ... and not as "reel - - - - eyes"?

Well, actually it's more like whenever I see the American spelling, I read it as "real-lyezz" (or something like that...I can never spell what I'm trying to pronounciate). When I say it aloud, I can't hear the "z," so it just looks misplaced to me.

Anyways, my spelling isn't always consistent one way or another (just in case you guys start reading my posts extra carefully from now on

). Being around the Downs so much, I guess I start seeing certain words spelled one way and I after a while, I start spelling them that way myself out of habit...

You linger in the school library, hanging on the 'downs while you could be home, reading your newly achieved copy of CoH!

Didn't you mean: You linger in the school library, hanging on the 'downs while you should be in the homeroom teacher's class!

Probably lame and old:

You can use all of the text editing commands off by heart without earlier practise.

EDIT: Though I've had them for several months, I just now noticed that 2/9 of my computer backgrounds are BD related.

(I have a program that changes my background every time I login Windows.)

Sorry if this has been said before:

You type out the text editing cues not only on BD, but on your blog, and in your own writing.

No, I did not mean that even though that's true as well!
