It's spelt CAPTAIN, not CAPTIAN! Bad Cryptic!

Sorry to nitpick, but I thought this was quite funny, and I was just thinking Cryptic could use spellcheck before paying for their advert to go up on another website. Just a thought.

Also sorry for the very large image, The part to look at is on the far right. I'm not very good at computers XD

    This may sound stupid, but what font are you using? Different than mine, but I like it.

    Spelt and spelled are both acceptable past tense versions of spell. I've used it before and to verify I busted out a collins dictionary.

  • LeKinKLeKinK Member Posts: 899

    I cannot find the spelling error..  a big red circle would help my poor eye as I am going blind..

    Also, check it out, they fixed it on the main page. I feel like I achieved something :D

    No, sorry spelt does not exist. You should complete high school, if you did I'm sure you'll never encounter any variation of the word  "spelt" in replace of "spelled". In other words its jargon and not suitable for actual literacy.

  • whpshwhpsh Member Posts: 199

    Spelt is in the American Heritage dictionary, specifically here:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spelt

    It's acceptable to use as either the past tense or past participle.

    Perhaps if you'd gone to college, you would've learnt something.

    And yes, learnt is a word too...

  • whpshwhpsh Member Posts: 199

    Would you people PLEASE look it up before you continue to prove your ignorance.

    The proper use is spelled, you illiterate bum. It goes to show how video games drastically effect the brain.

     

    Spelt is past and past participle of SPELL...................in English

    You would if you were English.

     

    Spelt is perfectly proper English according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which is the definitive record of the English language.

     

    It is the past participle of spell.

     

    A similar example would be 'learnt' vs. 'learned'

    No, sorry "learnt" is also jargon you illiterate bum. I don't need to prove my college experience beyond the fact that I did not attend a technical school giving out certificates like yourself (mostly people who did not complete high school nor handle the rigorous workload of a real state defined school). Likewise, it shows a complete sense of laziness and disrespect when a person must sit down and create jargon for just a simple word as "spelled" or "learned". It's okay if you've been doing that, and perhaps you have received weird looks from professionals. Perhaps, that is why your resume may have been rejected or why your article did not pass through the editors. Either way, you're lazy and you are not a dieing breed sadly.

  • whpshwhpsh Member Posts: 199

    And would you PLEASE stop using jargon ... it's a completely inaccurate use.

    And I've got another question:

    Is the color grey the same colour as gray?

    Don't insist, you are wrong, spelt is a proper English verb.

    Spelled is an Americanism.

    In English is Spelt

    Like Color and Colour, Armor and Armour

    I've seen spiteful attacks on other members because of radically differing views on games before, but never because of grammar.

    My faith in humanity has been dissolved.

    The point and purpose of a language is to communicate.  Everyone understands "spelt",  so it doesn't matter.  Besides, without jargons, slang, and accents, languages would be boring as hell.  This is coming from a former grammar nazi that saw the light.  Now shush.  :D

    So I'm guessing that you say "Sleeped" instead of "Slept?"

  • whpshwhpsh Member Posts: 199

    Well, 'sleeped' really isn't a word on any side of the pond. Or down under, as far as I know.

    But I appreciate you adding your voice to our cause!

    Precisely what I was getting at.  I was baiting the trull in hopes he said "Yes."

    Exactly the actuall English word is Spelt.

    Americans transformed it in Spelled, which is acceptable too, but it ain't the Queen English
