UrsinAs may struggle but I could see UrsinUs getting through its conference foe to face a tough Rochester squad that was once ranked first in the country this season.

One might say for pointing out this error that I am an UrsinASS

Well played

But at least you are not a UrsinIus, like another well-respected poster insists on typing it.  If they win, maybe everyone will learn how to spell it!

Of course, if Buena Vista wins, we'll all have to decide whether Iowan or Spanish is the way to go on pronunciation!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Or we can go with my version of BV... just Vista, baby!

[smedindy]

So I know how Hoosiers say Versailles and Dubois, and how Kansans say El Dorado, but how do Iowans say Buena Vista?

B-you-na (as far as I know, they pronounce Vusta like everyone else!).

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Unless I'm flattering myself to believe that I'm a well-respected poster.

You're well-respected in my book, but I was referring to one of my PP voters.

I thought that Chuck was referring to notorious Let's Talk MIAA gadfly Wiz, who picked up on Hope Convert's initial typo and made a running joke about "ursinius" being a cuss word. I was waiting for the Hope fans to pitch a fit about Chuck calling Wiz (a Calvin fan who is rivaled only by Kalamazoo alumnus Stinger in terms of being Posting Up's most vehement Hope-hater) "well-respected".

Every time I drive on to Ursinus' campus, I repeat this mantra.

"Not my sinus.  Not his sinus...URsinus"

Helps me remember how to spell and pronounce it.  It's also a good thing I drive alone so someone can't tell me what a dork I am.

It's comforting to know that someone else does little things to help remember how to spell words.  In 3rd grade, I always mis-spelled the word friend, until a teacher told me to always remember that a true friend would FRI to the END.  To this day (almost 40 years later) I still repeat that in my head every time I spell friend.

[Just Bill]

My older sister taught me to spell "together" by saying, "You can be together, unless you go TO-GET-HER"

[ILive4This]

I prefer to spell everything with txtn lang, like 2gether, 2moro, also I tend to abrev whenevs poss.
