English and its various permutations is a remarkable phemenon; it can be terribly butchered, convoluted, pronounced with a myriad of accents, and it is still intelligible. English spelling has changed so much over the past 500 years that even if a word is mispelled it can be deciphered from the context, usually! I even read that Sir Walter Raleigh was know to have spelled his name no less than seven different ways! ( watch it! those pluperfects will get you every time! :) ) Jump on any opportunity to use any RRRR word, like/ as a duck on a June bug; be adventurous, be free! You are among friends!
