in fairness to the humble prime minister; he was spelling lucasite and should have asked for a context.

[rvrski]

Morrison shouldn’t be near children, he’s a danger to them.

Evan, leukocytes are white blood cells, NOT some complicated organisms.

Terrific kids and our future Aussies. And for those Americans that may be watching, Arielle has just taught you how to spell centimetre. Just joking but for us "old farts" that learnt the Queens English, Microsoft surely buggered it up for us with Microsoft Office and the fact that it defaults to the US spellings. So few companies these days allow us to choose the UK dictionary so I have to make sure I include the correct Queens English words into the US dictionary.

How did Peter Dutton get the nickname Dr Strangelove ?

[hopefaithpeacejoy]

What about special education. They look like you and me Scott

leu·ko·cyte
/ˈlo͞okəˌsīt/
noun

1.
a colorless cell that circulates in the blood and body fluids and is involved in counteracting foreign substances and disease; a white (blood) cell. There are several types, all amoeboid cells with a nucleus, including lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, and macrophages.

Asian definition: It's a very chemical word; it's very complicated. (I'm not telling you drongo - get a dictionary).

I did the spelling bee but I was only best out of the class but good job to these people

Today we have children who are 40-50 years old with young ones who are still living with 70-80 year old parents. Is this the family daycare institutions? Most nations don't have toilets, proper drinking water, dirt road, homes of deplorable quality. Is this the old education system they so love?. The drugs abuse is they mechanic to make it all look perfect in a fail state. They play with what use to be big business and big business don't benefit them. The docile state of the nation will continue to become sewage for the world if world government does not hold the leaders of nations in jail. They are all hiding with religion talk and tax free organisations to look like some God of no purpose.
