One El or two? Bill updated the home page with the latest unfortunate news about the cancellation of this weekend's launch and I thought the spelling of 'canceled' was wrong. It turns out that 'canceled' is a valid "American" spelling of 'cancelled'. Cancelled is the Canadian/British version. Like 'cheque' or 'check' / 'doughnuts' or 'donuts'. And being a Canook it just looked weird.
That said - a new flying field would be nice...

To tell you the truth I thought it was two ells but the spelling checker made me get rid of one of them. By the way, is there a spelling checker add in for the forum.

When I bring up the editor, it automagically points out my spelling errors - underlined in red. Maybe it's a Mac thing.
BTW, it doesn't complain about either canceled or cancelled, but does complain about cheque and Canook. I always thought it was Canuck, eh?

But it obviously thought that misteak was a valid variation of mistake.

Evidently the spelling checker for the news isn't the same one as the forum because this one doesn't care about the ells but the other did. I made some intentional misteaks and this one caught them.
