Don't even start on using Z when they're meant to use C!
And why do I hear the word 'mom' so often in the UK?
etc etc, things aren't what they used to be...

Erm, shouldn't it be a spelling checker?
Or is it a spell chequer?

OK, I'll just get me coat!

My " most hated " are ..... I could of, instead of ... I could have.

Also as per the BBC, somethink, instead of something.

It naffs me off too! I'm glad somebody brought it up.

License is a perfectly valid spelling, but only when the word is used as a verb.

The rules are easy...

Noun: A licence

Verb: To license

So you buy a licence at a licensing office.

It's exactly the same with advice...

Noun: Some advice

Verb: To advise

And so on.

If it's any consolation, Americans aren't consistent either. Many use C's when, strictly speaking, they should be using S's.

While we're at it (cue the spelling Gestapo), let's practise our spelling so that we may improve with practice.
