It was clearly labelled OFF-TOPIC and it is all true. If your not into
the fact that Google Groups is being censored by organized crime then
so be it. Good luck with your code.

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

It is done as a courtesy. Many ppl set their kill-filter to
automatically delete anything either OT or off-topic in the subject
line. You didn't have to click on it.

You didn't answer my question (not a total surprise), so I'll ask again:

Not in my country.

as OFF-TOPIC?


It's regular practice; to elicit a response from posters you know might have
interesting views on the matter amd for informative (or even joke) purposes.

Which does not in any way imply that it is incorrect "American
English".

And therefore the correct English language spelling. Take note, for
the next time you want to 'correct' already-correct spelling: America
is not the centre of the universe.

Ah we have the cross-pond spelling problem.

Suggest checking for your country's regionally approved speliing.

Dictionary.com shows BOTH spellings.
