    I didn't know English wasn't your first language, Heath. Where are you from? Your English is very good. This is for codell to decide.

    R2K: You're the greatest, buddy. But if "yall" wasn't a kill, you definitely got it on the "it's" thing.

    Kam: Maybe I just missed it, but I haven't seen the "how's my spelling" thing in your signature so I haven't even been checking your spelling.

    I feel really low for doing this kill.

    I think "overqualify" should be two words. The Yahoo dictionary mentioned earlier in this thread contains "overqualified", but not "overqualify".

    Kill?

    The dictionary for this contest says it is a kill:

    bizarre

    adjectiveÊ
    strange and unusualÊ
    That party was too bizarre for me!

    (from Cambridge Dictionary of American English)

    It's amazing how many words I learned to spell from comics. When I'm unsure about "bizarre," I think of Bizarro. When I was learning to spell "tomorrow" I always thought of that great old JLA villian T.O. Morrow, who created the Red Tornado.

    If you think that's amazing, my friend learned to speak English just from watching Simpsons episodes.:eek:

    Who says the Simpsons aren't educational?

    hehehe....That is my other common mistake that I have been careful not to do as long as I was still in this.

    apostrophes and forgotten spaces....comes from tryin to get a 35wpm typer to type at 50wpm...:p

    Umm yeah I was playing if you notice my profile. I was eliminated on a damn typo by...I think B, I don't wanna go back a few pages to look though.

    So you wouldn't get credit for killing me because it was already done, unfortunately.

    Also, I was intentionally spelling opportunity wrong to emphasize fatman's error.;)

    So let it be known I, Rockets-#1, eliminated fatman510, not you, tierre. I want credit for what's mine!
