it's different!

Spelling struggler 1: What is the spelling of neighbour? Neighbour or neighbor?
Spelling struggler 2: Neighbour is British English and neighbor is American.
Spelling struggler 3: This happened to me yesterday. I was trying to type 'beaurocratic' no beurocratic, no boreaucratic, no? ok red tape!

Spelling struggler 1:Ok, lets get to the online dictionary and spell beauro- whatever...
Spelling struggler 2: Impossible! It says bureaucratic.
Struggler 3: If its boo- reou - cratic, why is it pronounced as beau- ro- cra-tic?

Spelling struggler 1: This happens to me with 'believe'. For a long time I spelt it as 'beleive'.
Spelling struggler 2: I can never write 'encyclopedia'
Spelling struggler 1: I always spell sandwich as sandwitch.
Spelling struggler 3: I spell sandwich as sandwicth, if that makes you feel better.

Spelling struggler 2: this happens with one more word! i forgot...something to do with the army!
Spelling struggler 4: leftinant (lieutenant)!
Spelling struggler 1, 2, 3: now how the hell do we spell that?
