And I'm not going to pronounce crayons "craans", either. I've still never given in to spelling words without "superfluous u's" (as Sean calls them). Theatre is still theatre, cheque is still cheque, (Google spell check, you can underline those all you want!), and the last letter of the alphabet is Zed. Does anybody have an elastic? Humbug! I'm just cranky because I need a Grand & Toy. As in, right NOW. I am being denied a convenient source of bristol board and mailing supplies. Especially the mailing supplies, since I have a whole lot of things I need to mail. As in, right NOW. Well, I’m sticking with pencil crayons. And I’m not going to pronounce crayons “craans”, either.
