    I know I am being a nerd here, and this is off topic, but this is from Webster's:

    jell v : become gelatinous; "the liquid jelled after we added the enzyme" [syn: {set}, {congeal}]

    gel n : a colloid is a more solid form than a sol v : apply mousse to; of hair [syn: {mousse}]

    and:
    (gell) Gill \Gill\, n. A leech. [Also {gell}.] [Scot.] --Jameison.

    Considering CB and Dream's hair style, we don't seem to have much chance to "gel" this season :)

    I stand corrected. I would definately like for this team to Jell not Gel... or maybe not... I would like this team to come together, be more solid, AND flow smoothly. can I have all three? And they wonder why English is the most difficult language to learn...

    Then why is "gelatinous" not spelled "jellatinous"????

    I say we start a campaign to get this changed.
