Progression? That can be very well debated.
Progression or degeneration and decay?

England rules.
And to trip you both up, I think it's mispelt anyway.

Nope, it's misspelt. I checked the dictionary.

A much easier way of defining the pronunciation of that: You don't pronounce "Color" as Collar, so why do you spell it as such?

Greyswander speaks great wisdom...
Why we scratch our butts because they are Itchy?
Why we talk out our butts when they are full of p00z?

So my complete fail of a spellchecker sparked a discussion about the English language? Why am I not surprised.

Too bad that "misspelt" isn't really a word, and that it is rather "misspelled".
Too bad that he is probably English and uses the orginal past tense form of "misspell", and not the dumbed down, American version "misspelled". Also both are considered correct, but "misspelt" is older.
Also see "burnt"
Also I am American.
lets not get feisty here..

Point of language is to create a general medium that is understood by mass groups to send messages to one another though the Medium of Speech and wrighting. if you understood that it was marshmallow the man was trying to say, then he sucseed in communicating. If you were like WTF is that word lol, I cant understand it, is he trying to preach the gosbal to me? Have I been Mormowend? than he would have failed and you were entitled to say "What the F**K was that?"
