No offense taken. I am a high school graduate. :-)

When I was a Navy yeoman (clerical worker) on the staff of the Commander, Third Fleet, I was for a short while assigned to our liaison officer from the Royal Navy. One day I went to him with a letter he’d given me to type (PCs were yet to be thought of, so nobody who wrote letters could type them) and said, “I can spell Pearl Harbor with an -O-R or an -O-U-R, but you’ve got it both ways here. Which would you like?” He looked a little lost, then asked who he was writing to. I told him the USN or the RN (I forget now which it was), and he looked relieved. “OK then, spell it [whichever was appropriate].” Whether in defense of the nation or defence of the world, one has to recognisze and respect our commonalities and our differences.

See, I can spell too. :D

No, I am slow this morning. I didn't even get the pun.
