Classic Spelling Trap

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Yet another example of the ignorance of “journalists” at the Aboriginal Broadcasting Corporation.

‘Defense’ is the American spelling. :roll:
In Australian English it’s ‘Defence’! :(
WHEN will they learn??
We are NOT the 51st state of the USA!
(Although it appears we’ve lost the battle over ‘schedule/skedule’ ☹️)
