i for some reason enjoy surly's outbursts.  i'm not sure if this is the case but when i write i tend to want to spell certain words (theatre, colour, poast, shoppe, ect...) as if somehow connected into a pre-british invasion of that anglo language of long ago.  is it to convince one's self that it appears that of a "higher speak" like those old throwback, fifty-cent words i somehow feel are necessary to learn?
