Pentax and m42 Leica lenses

[Kokoro]

I have a Toyota Paseo/Cynos. In the envrionmental impact thread it is mentioned that Selenium is an evil substance. I also have a Tomioka radioactive lens. My Glasses are done by Pentax.
What would happen if I put the M42 Tomioka onto my selenium Zenit E while sitting in my car and wearing my glasses?

Sorry, but you probably won't last long. You will die immediately.

"Harbor".

No... Harbour.

It's English!!

Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii, which we (USA) stole from Queen Lili'oukalani in 1893. So, being American territory (for good or ill), the American spelling of "harbor" is the correct one.

Now, if you were talking about Portsmouth, you'd be correct!

 

[Steve Smith]

I try not to talk about Portsmouth... or even go there, even though it's only four miles away (by boat).

So what do you call that language you are using?!

American, a "dialect" of English.

That's the correct answer!

Naturlich!

No, it's "Pearl Harbor". That is how it is spelled. It is an American name.
It would be incorrect for me to change the spelling of an England place name to American spelling; so it is with the converse. "Pearl Harbor" is the correct English spelling in England, and "Pearl Harbour" is incorrect.

I think your'e right and I stand corrected, but I was educated in England and we are truly "two nations separated by the same language ", one of my sons went to university in the U.S.at U.C. Berkeley and in has English classes had trouble with American spelling, which when you think about it is kind of ironic.

I'm in favour of complete acceptance of English spelling of English words here in the US as valid and correct.

 

[lxdude]

What I said.

Yep! Just a little bit different flavour.

 

[MattKing]

I think the "Harbor" in "Pearl Harbor" is a proper noun, so the spelling should not include the "u".

If you were to require people to accept the alternate spelling, you would have to allow people from the USA to spell "Leicester" as "Lester".

I'm sure some already do!

Cholmondely, Chumley
