Your correct.....
My apologies for the heat of the moment.
BTW, we didn't "succeed" either. :-)

Atleast we use more than four letters & have more than 8 words in our
vocab.
Incorrect spelling most likely stems from immigration and the mix of
cultures and languages. The huge influx of Scottish culture to the
Carolinas created havoc I'm sure! Lack of modern day education is the
current excuse in most parts of the country now it seems. Pronunciations
and spellings of the Scots gaelic still evade me.
