Perhaps some people don't know what they should be:
funny -> funky
ship -> shit

By the way, I'm dying to see the results of your project Ron. Good
stuff.
As regards Ron's query about British spelling, z's are often substituted
for s's when they get Americanised ;-) There are many other differences
as well but I don't know if there are general rules...
Does anyone know why the Americans had to go and change the spellings in
the first place?
