    I'd have to agree with R2K.

    Leaving apostrophes out or putting them in when they should not be there counts as a misspell. An apostrophe is considered a character just like A B or C.

    I dunno..I thought I made a pretty convincing argument with the dictionary.com reference. I love typing the word reference. refer is even better. what other words are all right there grouped together when yu tye them? reefer...what else?

    Now, now. I do not recall making any challenges that could be disproved by using a dictionary. :)

    I dont think we are playin by the Marquis de HP Rules...
    but if so..the above post might apply...I was really being kinda facetious when I said that ...but it's a judgement call by the other guys in the game...I dont care one way or the other..:)

    I vote they both stay. They were not temporary lapses or a mistype of any sort. Jump back in Rockets2K.

    Haha, no dude, I meant that I didn't wrongly point out a misspelling that was, in fact, correct. One can't use a dictionary to prove that the posts in question were made in 2002 (before the contest began), and so the wrongfulness of my challenges wasn't spelling-based.

    But I was just joshing, too. :)
