   You’re labouring under the impression that they tried to spell “developments”; in fact it’s a Freudian neologism: “de-velo-ments” – n. plural. Acts of bicycle removal…

   Hi BB

   I’m afraid with this post you’ve broken the unwritten rule: any criticism of someone else’s spelling or grammar must contain at least one mistake. 😉

   Another one on the Floating Harbour display panel by the SS Great Britain, referring to one of Brunel’s other great ships, the “Great Easter”.

   Hi. Not sure what this is about but I’m actually the Mayor SpellingCity.com.

   I’ve spent some time over in the UK and even Bristol. Even some a week in Hillhead (very small town) a year or so back.

   I thought your spelling over there was fine. Colourful. And theaterical. lol.

   Stop by: Spellingcity.com
   We even have a resource on UK vs US spelling.
