From the Sydney Morning Herald, and in particular, Column 8. This has been an ongoing debate...

(I assume you will get the current day's column 8, monday to friday, if you use the above link...)

Deborah Brooks, of Barrington, tops the spelling debate with this: "If GH can stand for P as in hiccough, OUGH for O as in dough, PHTH for T as in phthisis, EIGH for A as in neighbour, TTE for T as in gazette, and EAU for O as in plateau, the right way to spell POTATO should be: ghoughphtheightteeau.

mis-spelling I like.
Trade me auctions   bowl is like a dish, so this advert = ??    "GOOD CONDITION SQUARE BOWEL FOR SALAD OR PASTA, GREAT FOR DINNER PARTIES...BIG CLEAN OUT DUE TO MOVING"

   often happens.
   can get bargains by searching for mis-spellings. They fall under the radar of normal searches.

   regards,
                Bruce.

I would prefer a cool bowel at my dinner party to a square one!
