wonder if anchor has the right shade of cyan?


Wonder if anyone has pointed out that focussed is spelt wrong ???

LOL - it just made me want to say "Ouch."

:-) In American English, focused is acceptable (and more common than focussed, though that spelling is also acceptable).

Best wishes, Ericka (who is trying to carve out a bit more stitching time these days, though it's an uphill struggle)

"American English" - there's an oxymoron. I am happy though that you find the English spelling 'acceptable' - very condescending.

Sorry--I meant acceptable in American English. I wasn't making any comment about what is or isn't acceptable anywhere else. Both forms are accepted spelling in American English, though "focused" is significantly more common. I intended no condescension, only to suggest it might not be entirely fair to accuse an American of misspelling a word that is correctly spelled (or must I say "spelt?") according to American English dictionaries. If your comment was intended to be humorous, sorry I didn't catch on to that.

Best wishes, Ericka
