@whowasthatmaskedman Must be a punishment then to get sent to University of Massachusetts, you'll never receive letters there :P

@scooogy Maybe they can buy a vowel?馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman how about stamps for words most often misspelled 馃

@scooogy That certainly seems easier than actually teaching people to spell.. (I shouldnt make fun of Basic Education in any country. Teachers have a really tough gig.)馃樂

@whowasthatmaskedman Uni isn't all that hard even for Americans.

@KiwiBird But Americans have this thing about dumping the letter "U" out of words, like Humour, Honour and Labour. You can see the problem in this case.馃樂
