It was clearly labelled OFF-TOPIC and it is all true.

Since when is it OK to post ANYTHING on ANY Usenet newsgroup
as long as it is labeled [correct spelling] as OFF-TOPIC?

Since when was not "labelled" a correct, alternative spelling
of "labeled"?

Ever since label was spelled label and not labelled: la-bel la-bel-ed

Oh! Maybe your extra "l" is a lisp thing?

You're hopefully just pulling my leg... but if not, I
suggest you consult a dictionary.

All three of my dictionaries agree.

None were prepared by or for the "leave no poor speller behind"
organization.

Ok... so I take it that that "Random House Unabridged
Dictionary" and "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English
Language" both fall in this category, then? Further, "labelled" is
used in articles in the "Encyclopedia Britannica", and gets about 1/3
of the number of hits that "labeled" does on Google.

I'd be quite interested to know what dictionaries you have
been using.
