streganona - 7/2/09, 2:54 pm

I want two LL's but spell check tells me otherwise.

which is MORE technically correct?
meaghan - 7/2/09, 10:41 pm
cancelled 100%

canceled just reminds me how my boss thinks that "CANCEL" is actually the past tense of "to cancel" so i get a bunch of e-mials saying "THE MEETING IS CANCEL" but it's really not the same at all, youknow. mind tricks
