Why can I not leave it alone? Truely = Truly
Take care

I laughed!

But I understand. It's one of those things that don't hurt but can just bother the heck out of you all day if you don't do sth. Thank you.

You know but this one "truely", I have always spelt it that way and never thought it was wrong (noone ever bothered to correct me I guess). Man! it's scary to think what other things do I percieve to be correct but in fact wrong.

at least you spelt pigeonhole correctly. I have seen native english speakers misspell it with a "d" as some people pronunce it pidgen or pidgeon.

Also don't hurt = doesn't hurt.
I only correct you because I know you can take it!

Was this a red herring?

Did I fall for it? Correctioin = Correction

Lol.

Not a trap. It's a typo--quite different from a manifestation of lousy spelling, my fingers slipped...honest!
