Please forgive me, I know this is a silly thing to post about but a single lens is a 'lens' and not a 'lense' - there is only one 'e'.
So many people are adding the extra 'e' that it is really starting to bug me..........now where's my coffeee?
Die my dear doctor, that's the last thing I shall do!

Fair enough, I guess all sort of things can bug us!

I'm not over-fond of sloping horizons, especially in published work where everyone should know better....
Best regards, John

You're right, Pano.

However, most of the people making this elementary howler ARE English, and should know better.

G'day All.
We Australians use colour rather than color too.
Must be the pommie convict thingy in our genes.

Here in Canada-- Little USA- colour is spelled colour, but yanks spell it "color" due to lazziness and their ignorance of proper canadian english, eh?

My pet hate..

The confusion of z's and s's in ..ization / ..isation. UK English uses the s and American English uses the z.

I'm sure "dishy" is the right word in your case!
