Well, which is it?

The boss says I have some wierd thoughts at times, she's probably right, as usual.
So when I saw this sign, my thinking was " is that the right way to spell it?"
And it stayed in my mind all day till I got home and looked it up.

What are your thoughts? (See Wikis answer below)


Ah well...




Is it curb or kerb in Canada?


In American and Canadian English, the noun meaning the edge of a sidewalk or roadway is spelled curb. In varieties of English from outside North America, the word is spelled kerb. But everyone uses curb for the verb meaning to check or restrain and for the verb's corresponding noun (e.g., curbs on spending).
