I definately think that alot of people here who have trouble spelling there own language, when their are so many online dictionaries. Incredably, your just going to have to put up with it.

Incidentally, for all you 14-year olds out there, ur isn't a real word.

At least until Webster's includes it in their next edition, that is.
