I would like to know why the Food and Drink program spelt carrot incorrectly. They called them CARROTTS, as in Jasper. Not impressed. Sue

One of those unfortunate opening posts-the irony of it.

I think that you will find that there is. There are multiple spellings of some words.

I think that you will find that there is. There are multiple spellings of some words. Although, just to be picky (and perish the thought that anyone on these board should be picky) the OP had an issue with the SPELLING of just one word.

Pick away. Though I thought that the problem was the mixing up of 'carrot' and 'Carrott' (Jasper)

Should it not be "programme" as in TV- not "program" as in computer?

No, I use the American spelling, quite deliberately. I accept that this is a BBC board, and that the first B in BBC stands for British, but, I am exercising my right of free spelling, to use the American spelling, just as I would use it for other words.
