Working on software all day long, those words appear a LOT.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Guarantee. Always leave out that U for some reason.

In high school I habitually spelled excuse "execuse." Without fail. For YEARS.

What I really don't get is when people spell Definitely as Defiantly.

Not only is it wrong but it's a completely different word.

Last time this thread was posted I said nothing, but I just recently realized that I am terrible at spelling "embarrass".
