Today's Finance URL

With the global economy in meltdown, it is important to look forward as far as one possibly can, in a financial sense. There are at least 15 companies that might be in trouble this year, even to the point of insolvency. Shout-out to my Singapore lj friends: one of your favourite sources of sugar and fat is on the list...

Today's Spelling Misteak

I got a reference from The Register for The Times (of London) Spelling Bee. The website shows a game which you can play...click on the button, and a little robot comes out of the left, adjusts one of his antennae into a microphone, and proceeds to speak. You are required to type each word into a box. At the end, you get your score. You can then place your cursor on any word in "red" (which you misspelled) to find the real spelling. See how I did below



Now, I consider myself a good speller. But when the robot said "READ" and I typed "REED" I can't see that I got that one wrong. Spelling "BALLOON" as "BELLOON" is a typo, pure and simple. Yes, I can spell "BALLOON".

Maybe the Guardian, also known as the Grauniad for its love of misspelling and homophone confusion, should take this one over.
