Today's programming brought to you by the letter 'R'

I have found myself astounded by the versatility of language recently. Particularly in speeling and regional accents.

I'll give you an example:

It amazes me how, despite excepted spelling, certain letters can be dropped or added to spoken words. Speak these two words aloud:

1. Library.

2. Wash.

OK...very good. Now that's the correct spelling. (I spell checked, just to be sure.)

When you spoke, if either of the words sounded like this:

1. Libary.

2. Warsh.

YOU ARE WRONG.

Please fix yourself.
