Any verdict on 'shedule' or 'skeduel' yet, SC?

No. Like a lot of things, I say I'm going to do them but never get 'round to it.

Apparently shed-ule is British and sked-ule American, but I can't confirm, it was just from a grammar forum discussion.

This article might shed (and no, not sked!) a bit of light on some of the words discussed.

Yes that's what I said! Plus US pronunciation of skedule is considered as a dialect pronunciation. Shedule is correct, because of the root language it comes from.

All true, Kitty, but often the fight against Americanisms and American pronunciation has proved to be akin to p***ing against the wind. And this will probably continue to be the case.

Very true Fred! Example = Teri's comments

It's nearly as bad as idiots calling NRL 'Rugby'

No! She's a celebrated author! Her latest book is in the Amazon 200 !!! Nothing I say will matter, you'll dispute it, so remain ignorant + keep saying skeduew-well

But it is Rugby. Call it what you like, but the fact that NRL stands for National Rugby League is good enough reason for md to call it Rugby!

Feeling guilty-- did I stuff up? Or is this just a general pat on the head for the day?

What are you Catholic or Jewish? Where did the guilt come from?

I think it was a complement™ to you both. Wasn't it?

lol. The guilt came from months of abuse in the OT thread for my 'mishaps' with the English language
Is it any wonder I feel guilty when someone mentions my name in association with a spelnig or grammatical error?
I blame you and SquishyKitty

EDIT- If it was a complement®, I shall retire gracefully to the chook pen

*goes and hides*

But it is simply wrong!

AFL stems from Rugby, AFL has League in its name, it's a national game, would you call it League? No! It's like saying Irish are all Catholics! Or telling an Irish Catholic they're Protestant!

It is very simply wrong to call NRL 'Rugby' - you may as well say all white people are English! There are four football codes + calling them by the wrong name is just pure ignorance! Saying NRL has rugby in it doesn't make it right to call it Rugby. Just as calling AFL 'League' (which is NRL) doesn't make it right because it has league in it. Your argument is stupid! If I called you a Queenslander would that be wrong? No! Based on your argument Australia has Queensland in it, so you must be a Queenslander. For people who think they know about sport, I really can't comprehend how you can call footy codes by the wrong name?

Then why use the American pronunciation?

It is NOT Rugby! Rugby is Rugby Union FFS! Just Google it!

So we're both neurotic about typos? Cause we NEVER make spelling or grammar errors
