No, no, no. This is very OT, but YOU SHALL NOT PASS with this. *Ledge* is etymologically entirely unrelated to *lege, lex*. It's NOT "priviledge". That may be one of the more common misspellings, but ledge has as much to do with lege as BSE has with BSD. And the colour vs. color spelling variants have nothing at all to do with spelling privilege incorrectly. (But you can find more info on such differences here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences ) Unless you're trying to aggressively appeal to the "uneducated and doesn't care"-demographic, I suggest not spelling privilege "priviledge". regards, --ropers
