A cursory glance at this blog will be enough to inform you that I am poor at spelling. A consequence of my poor spelling is that I get unreasonably belligerent if I spot something I know how to spell being spelt incorrectly elsewhere. Thus I have been driven a bit nuts not just by spending too long honing an Arts Council application, but mostly by having their on-line application software continually urging me to revert to an American spelling of Theatre.
