Nearly every single one is either a z for an s or its a letter left out. You even drop the 'd' from 'zed'.
And there are many words on this list that are not preferred spelling, even for Americans.
And I, for one, like the Z preference over overuse of the S. In those words, the sound you're making has much more in common with a Z sound than an S sound, so why not call it what it is?
What's this about "dropping the d from zed"? Do you mean when we use the word "zero"? Zed is not a word to us, and neither is "ze".

Well, see, there's the simple problem that both of you do not believe in a God. How does agreeing on theology make two people "arch-nemeses", especially in a forum where religion is discussed?
But yes, we both think that the Christian god is fictional
Originally posted by karoly aczelI hope you don't mind my asking, but was this recently? If I remember correctly, you were identifying as Buddhist and then you were away for a while, and now you're a Hindu? Just asking because I thought you always said (before) that you were only leaning towards Buddhism, and in fact, were atheist. If I misunderstood you then, I'm sorry.

I always liked the flavour of Buudhism, but never claimed to be a regurlar practising Buddhist.
Recently I have started calling myself "Hindu" for possibly better forum comprehension.
As for atheism , it relates to me like of Buddhism (no god).
If it were only atheists vs Christians I'd be atheist.
Hope this clarifies
