We must all be very very bored..lol

My Webster says that plough(which is defined there as a verb and a noun btw) and neighbour are the British spellings..personally don't see any reason why we can't interchange them at will..
Swapping 'to' for 'too' and 'their' for 'there' (or 'they're') and 'you're' for 'your' is just plain wrong wherever you live.

I must admit I type so fast sometimes I type phonetically, not correctly. I do know "to" from "too" and "their" from "there", but often I hit send without checking to see if my typing fingers and brain are still wired together correctly. What I do find funny is when people in the MP spell "no" as "know." I can understand shortening words, but they go the extra mile and add in letters
