::: (about the misspelling of ''vestigial''): I did a <strike> quite </strike> quick web check and found many hits on ''vestigual'', but I saw the answers to a question and thought that was the correct spelling. At least, I'm not alone in misspelling that word: Vestigial Vsetigial Vesitgial Veetigial Veatigial Vedtigial Vewtigial Vextigial Vesrigial Vesgigial Vesyigial Vestogial Vestugial Vestkgial Vestirial Vestinial Vestitial Vestihial Vestibial Vestifial Vestigoal Vestigual Vestigkal Vestigisl Vestigizl Vestigiql Vestigiap Vestigiam Vestigiak --- that word must hold some kind of record in the number of ways to misspell a word. But I got almost all of the letters right. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:19, 22 August 2013 (UTC) |
