Day thirty-three.

My photo-stitched picture of the day. Despite below freezing temps, the sun was shining, which was nice.


Lately I've been paying more attention to the words people use. In one of my classes I scribble down words that come out of my professor's mouth which I don't hear on a regular basis. Some recent examples: foist, flanking, fishery, striations, unmodulated. The thesaurus is my good friend..

Sometimes commonly used words can be tricky--like 'cancel', for example. The word takes many forms: canceled, cancelled, cancellation, canceler, canceller. Does it have one or two L's?
Answers.com says: In both UK and US English, the most common spelling is cancelled, with two L's, although some people (and spell check programs) still favor the one-L spelling.
Apparently, US dictionaries list it both ways, and either is correct usage.

Fun fact of the day.
