From a post within the past week about a new $100 bill coming out in October: "It is suppost to make counter fitting real hard in the future."

I guess if you've never SEEN the word "counterfeiting," you might write it that way?

Had to laugh at this one: I just took a patient in our clinic back for an audiometry test, and I asked him to have a seat in the hearing booth.

He laughed and said that was really funny because in England they call the car trunk "the booth."

We call the car trunk the "boot" and the hood is the "bonnet."

I thought that was "bonneth". You scrape your tyres on the kerbs, too.
