You could even argue the sentence could go:
"If you're American, fair enough; but the word 'criticize' is spelt (or spelled if you are "American"icon_wink.gif criticise."


This thread is funny!

Two 'coulds' in a sentence: bad style. I would argue you second 'could' should be 'should'; would make more sense bud

That's one down.

So, that's Tetley's for the Challenge Cup.
Well done to the RFL.
My only concern, is the lack information re the (monetary) size of the deal.
A little worrying, especially after last SL's debacle

No it isn't!! 'Criticise' is the secondary spelling. Look it up in the OED or any other [iEnglish[/i dictionary!

This wasn't my point anyway. This forum is supposed to be about Rugby League not English grammar and spelling. The biggest error in this thread is the misplaced apostrophe in the title of the thread. Nobody cares, nor should they. Everyone understands the meaning. The original error that SEB complained about was clearly a typing error of the sort we all make. If people totally mangle the language so that nobody can understand, that is different.

Sorry if I have missed it but who is the 2013 SL Sponsor?

There isn't one, at this stage.
