Cat Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Try to do a search on the word "color" (no quotes). I get back: The following search terms are not allowed and were removed from your query: color This happens even if "color" is part of several words in the search. The word "color" disappears from the search parameters. This happen to anyone else? Quote
Francois Normandin Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Yes it does, but "colour" works... (It might be filtering out using a canadian or british dictionary? ) Quote
Cat Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Posted September 17, 2009 Yes it does, but "colour" works... (It might be filtering out using a canadian or british dictionary? ) I guess I spelled it wrong, eh? Thanks for checking. I also tried the phrase "ramp color intensity" as a test and got back: " No results found for 'rampintensity' " Quote
ShaunR Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Yes it does, but "colour" works... (It might be filtering out using a canadian or british dictionary? ) You mean "English" Dictionary Quote
Francois Normandin Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 You mean "English" Dictionary You know, there are only 30 millions of my bunch and there are over 300 millions of them south of the border, so I'm careful not to wake up the sleeper. The 1812 invasion is still fresh to my mind... Quote
PaulG. Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 You mean "English" Dictionary Colour, color, favour, favor. I like the good, old fashioned Noah Webster American English. The Queen's English wastes too many good letters that could be better used somewhere else. Quote

hooovahh Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Very clever poem but I couldn't bring my self to finishing it, just messed with my head too much, and I'm no critically acclaimed wordsmith or anything. I can't imagine what it must be like for an English professor to read that. Quote

Speaking for all Brits, Ausies, Hindi's and Canucks. Some people have no sense of humo(u)r. I hope my behavio(u)r hasn't caused our English speaking neighbo(u)rs to harbo(u)r a grudge. Lets not let the spect®e® of conceit compromi(s)(z)e integrity and (e)(i)nsure we all get with the program(me) of coexistance and co(s)(z)iness. Edited September 19, 2009 by ShaunR 1 Quote
