    Well whaddaya know. I just learned the Brits and their minions spell “license” differently. I’ll add that to my list of stupid British spellings. (Colour? Centre? Programme? Draught? Plough? Really! Americans should be grateful Noah Webster did as good a job as he did in changing American spelling. Too bad he didn’t take it further and get rid of every stupid “gh”.)

    Maybe he can get his licence on line! But then again, I think they’d need two cats to operate a bulldozer; one for the petals and one to steer.

    …that’s always the complaint of the lazy and uneducated…(Why don’t the spell it like it sounds? Who cares about spelling anyway? Wah, wah, wah, whine, whine, whine…)

    I think the difference between us and the Brits is ‘fun’. I do agree with you about that ‘gh’ spelling…makes learning English awfully difficult, what? Thought I’d throw in a Britism as good will.

    I don’t care how you spell license. I just love this comic strip! One of the best ones out there!

    It’s also the complaint of every self-hating American who insists that English is a second-rate language for having such absurd spelling. Usually Spanish is held up as the model, with the explanation that every letter and combo always sounds the same.

    Even though the comments went off on a tangent today, Ten Cats remains one of my favorite (favourite?) comic strips.

    English spelling has to do with how it was pronounced where the first printers set up shop. I sometimes just for fun pronounce it as written.

    As kids in northern Illinois my sister and I once made a snow turkey for Thanksgiving (with music for “Snowbird” in its wing) and a snow rabbit for Easter.

    There is a verb: “to license”
    There is a noun: “a licence”
    Remember? to advise is a verb; advice is a noun even in the USofA. I advise you to remember my good advice.
