Yeah and some people spell 'colour' as 'color' too. I don't think we should get
too pedantic about this stuff do you? I mean we'll never have a keyword that uses
an apostrophe in it, and I personally don't want to have to think about spelling
and grammar when I'm grappling with the abstract nature of getting a compiler to
convert my written intentions into machine code.
Good on ya though, that's one that annoys me too; when I stop to notice it that
is :)
