Valhalla Vanguard: the 12 Fleet Magazine (April Issue)

[Patrick]

For instance, I see "siad", and my brain reads "said". So sometimes if my spell-checker doesn't catch it, I might not either! I'm also Canadian, and some of our spellings are different than the states'. Problem is, I only know the Canadian spellings!

I know what you mean Cassie but that isn't your fault, our brains our wired that when we are reading we really only look at the 1st/last letter and as long as the other letters in the word are correct they could be in almost any order and we will know what the word is..

As for Canadian spellings.. LOL I hear you 100% there.. I'm a programmer in my day job and OMG, you have no idea how much it pains me to type color instead of colour for various items.. In fact as i write this, Chrome underlines colour as an incorrect spelling.. GRRRR!!!!

BTW, Great issue Cassie, very well done.. Awesome work to everyone involved....

Okay....just for Cassie...some diffs between US English and Canadian English:

"er" and "re": (examples)
Theater (US) - Theatre (CAN)
Center (US) - Centre (CAN)

"ck" and "que": (examples)
Check (US) - Cheque (CAN)

Hopefully this helps out some.

Also another difference is Color (US) vs (Colour) (CAN/BRIT)

I'll go hide now.

It's superbly done!

Unless we officially picked Webster's English as our standard over Oxford's, your spelling is fine. It's not going to harm those of us in the states to open our minds just a wee bit.

Its English and broken English *tuts*

Its English and broken English *tuts*

I used to say, there was:

1. Queen's English
2. Yankee English
3. Canuck English
4. Redneck English

[Firix]

I approve

[Traywick]

Some might argue that Redneck English enters the realm of being a separate language unto itself.

Sweet Cassie very well done!

[Galcyon]

That was a great read! Thanks for the hard work magazine staff!

[Cassie]

Thanks everyone! But I can't take all the credit, the whole magazine team put in a lot of time and effort. And HUGE props to Blaze for putting it all together! It was a LOT of pages to make pretty
