Muppet grammar grinch creeps into class

[bmccasland]

Umm hello..I'm here to whinge..

..

Whine has a "g" in it? Or is that a south of the equator spelling? I know, I know, we misspell "color." Apparently some people think it's spelled "colour"

Frankly if I misspelled anything in the past day or so it's because my eyes are giving me fits. They hate me. I've had to go to computer settings and increase the size of the font I see on the screen. I really really (meant to say that twice) don't like not being able to see clearly. Don't like the pain either.
