    If you are saying I was saying something obnoxious about MMC because of the way he chose to spell renege, you are dead wrong.

    Let me remind you what happened - Silvereyes pointed out (correctly) that renege is not spelt re-nig, but then suspected MMC was being racist in using re-nigged. I gave the opinion that she is correct re the spelling, but that it was unlikely that MMC was being racist (I was, in a way, taking his side,) and that there may be other reasons why he used that word.

    He has explained why he uses words like that, and I understand and appreciate his explanation. There is no reason to make something more of it - I am not attacking MMC, and I have explained why correct spelling is important to me.
    Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
    for a glow worm's never glum,
    'cause how can you be grumpy
    when the sun shines out your bum!

    Not you. You were just talking language, spelling.

    He is talking about me, William.
    At the end of the day...I am still glad that I am me. Tail and all.

    I'm talking about what you posted. There's a difference.
