Sorry Daniel but I didn't like your usage of the word centre in your latest blog! It was fine in the name "Air Canada Centre" but when you're using it to write about the center line or anything "central" I think we Canadians still write that as, center...yes?...no? :? Just to add...long time reader, first time poster...love the site and the board!! 8)

The last time I was in Canada I played in a pokre tournament where the dealre kept pushing the pots to the wrong playre. And whenevre I would entre a pot, I would get at least four callres. I finally busted out when I was outdrawn on the rivre.My friends and I were dying of hungre, so we checked out this new dinnre theatre place. The waitres were very slow and they didn't have any buttre for our bread. I ordered the lobstre, but they came back 45 minutes latre and told me they were out. Fed up with the whole thing, we just walked a little farthre down the road to a Burgre King and spent about a quartre of what we would have paid at the othre place.

Spelt "centre" in Australia too, as it is in the UK and largely throughout most English speaking nations.See Oxford Dictionary.

Just like you all up north. You write something and then get mad with the replies cause it didnt go as you wanted. If you didnt want the whole world to read and comment on it you should have kept it to yourself. :cry:

I believe we spell alot of words differently from our friends down south, I think they spell color with a U as in colour, or is the other way around?

Nowhere in any of my posts do I come across as "mad" at anyones replies (check the winking smiley!)...just pointing out that it's not a typical "American" type question!!As far as your "just like you all up north" comment, how bout if I say that this response from you is "just like an American!!" Let's not lump people all together shall we!
