Line 27: ==Spelling== ==Spelling== *Now, forgive me if they're wrong, but [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=guerilla according to dictionary.com], both forms of guerilla are acceptable in American English. I know I changed it first, but my spell checker flagged it as wrong (using en-GB, FYI). The reason I'm bringing this up is that this could turn out to be a problem in future articles; inadvertently changing each other's spelling when they both conform to en-US is rather counter-productive. Perhaps we should work towards finding a decent en-US dictionary to share between Sarna members in the meantime? --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 20:38, 15 December 2006 (CST) *Now, forgive me if they're wrong, but [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=guerilla according to dictionary.com], both forms of guerilla are acceptable in American English.

[[User:Nicjansma|Nicjansma]] 15:10, 17 December 2006 (CST) − :::Heard about the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Guerilla_UK_spelling_campaign Guerilla UK spelling campaign?] Or the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_US_spelling_campaign Gorilla US spelling campaign?] (I'll admit, I'm responsible for recent 'work' on the latter. ''*snickers*''.) Probably best not to to let nationalism of either sort stand in the way. Just pick a standard and stick by it, which is why Revanche, Jimmy and I decided on en-US a lil' while back. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 07:45, 18 December 2006 (CST)
