Dear Americans (particularly those in print),

The correct spelling of the term used when a minor blunder is made is "OOPS" - that's two 'o's and one 'p'. It is NOT 'Opps'.

I know we have differences is some spellings, but this is simply wrong.

That reminds me: Firefox hates me typing "colour" and "grey" even though that's how I'm used to spelling those words.

Meh. How come you spell them that way, anyway?

It was just how I was taught and I read stuff that spelled those words in that way. So they became right in my head.

You can add dictionaries for UK and Canadian English to Firefox so you can get along with spellcheck again. :)
