Recently one of our really astute BY posters expressed his concern that his mild criticism of a Husky might be considered to be "sacreligious." Good thought but incorrect spelling.
Strange but inexplicably true, The antonym of religious is not sacreligious, but sacrilegious. Honest! [Note the illogical reversal of the i's and e's.]
This tiny tidbit is useful only when placing a bar bet with an irreverent English teacher.
All in BY fun, and more enjoyable than Margo's bathroom rants.
Anyone know any other quirky spellings? (Don't everybody speak at once.)
