Why is it that American people can't spell Obormot...

I resent that. I can spell Obormot just fine and I am American.

**(/quote)

I think you resent altogether too much. Just chill. I was pointing out a pattern. The majority of native American English speakers have trouble with spelling. My mom is an English teacher, and she notices this as well. Even some of her colleagues have trouble with spelling.

If you're an exception, fine. If you want to argue the pattern, that's another story.

Does Obormot mean some thing? Wondering since you make souch a big deal out of it. Realy, it´s easy... O-bor-mot. Yes, I could spell it wrong too, not a common word/name (I don´t know yet). Is is a name or word???????
Ps.
Isn´t there any finnish people here???? Just wondering, kinda strange.

Yes, Obormot does mean something in Russian. I am unable to translate it, though; don't know how you'd say it in English. Didn't Phoenix plan to ask his dad, who allegedly speaks Russian?

Whoa, sorry if I offended you or something. I have noticed we misspell a little more but not all of us. I'm not trying to argue a pattern or anything.

Geeze, 105%? You got an extra arm or something?

Confucius say: "Man who stand on toilet, is high on pot."

Well, I'm:

50% Polish

12.5% Latvian
12.5% Italian
and 12.5% Irish

There's a combo.

I live near Washington D.C. (info also available in my user profile), I'm 17 years old although I'm probably around 60 in terms of life and such.

And BTW, the job listed in that profile is my DREAM JOB. People like EVula, Skunko, Sparks, Janus, Kevin, and the rest of the SL crew won't be surprised.

One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of old towns without meeting with an instrument of time.

Time is visible in all places.

Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all.

In this world, a second is a second is a second.

Time moves forward with unwavering regularity.

Time is an infinite ruler.

Time is absolute.

Spanish people, do your computers translate the writing from spanish to english before it makes it to the board or do y'all type english?

You didn't colonize us, we left you =p
My family left in 1632 under written consent of the king (charter). Of course, 145 years later we fought against Britain
