I'm still not convinced. I think it's just a trade name for rock. If Quinn wants to argue that this is a real place, he'll have to fly me there to prove it.

And me to wittnes you getting the proof! :biggrin:

That's "witness" - just thought I'd join the fun. :lol:

i before e except after c , and multiple other exceptions... and yes Bob.. navy with black is bad.

I don't think spelling has anything to do with ones intellect, it is just a matter as to what is important to each individual. I would rather spend the five minutes it would take me to read over what I wrote doing something else.. besides.. i may have to get my glasses rather than just guessing the words o_O

Actually, I've changed my mind. The CIA lists Fiji as a country, and since the CIA is a conspiracy, it's probably not true. Same goes for Canada.

That's exactly it. Frankly I don't give an Amphiprion percula's ass about most of the spelling and grammatical errors on this board, which we all know sometimes prohibits efficient communication (you know it's bad when a poor speller complains about someone else's poor spelling; then again, I like big words and in the past people have complained about this being inefficient because they're too lazy to use a dictionary :rolleyes: ). But Fiji is a place. This is like me asking someone if they live in Surray or how the weather is in Winnepeg (probably crap). I seriously wonder how many reefers think the place actually is "Figi", considering how prevalent the misspelling is...

And the translated version for the simple people like myself!
