Canceled vs. Cancelled

Sunday, June 7th, 2009 by Fuzz

I know it looks funny, but the proper spelling of the past tense of the word “cancel” is “canceled.” “Cancelled” is acceptable, but the one-L version is the right way (unless you’re British – then use two Ls).

If you are, indeed, an American, and you don’t spell flavor as “flavour” or color as “colour,” then use one L.

Carry on. :)

On Notice: Bicyclists

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 by Claude

My affinity for the Colbert Report is no secret. So, to honor Stephen and his great contributions to the world, I am implementing my own “On Notice” board on FuzzMartin.com (by Claude…not Fuzz).

On Notice: BicyclistsOn Notice: Bicyclists

These innocent, happy-go-lucky travelers are everywhere these days. With the increase in gas prices and the new stylish fashion statement of rolling up your pant leg, it’s no wonder their numbers have multiplied.

I have to give a big tisk-tisk to all bicyclists, as they want vehicles to “share the road” with them…but they will not yield to the more dominant transportation methods. In a natural selection of the roadways, bicyclists should know their place. I will share whatever room is leftover on the road when I come cruising by in my Lincoln Navigator while drinking my iced mocha-latte from McDonalds on my way to work (Starbucks is soooo March 2008).

Bicyclists, you have been put On Notice. Next time you breeze through that 4-way stop, don’t expect an out-of-court settlement when you find yourself looking up at my SUV’s undercarriage.
