I thought you'd missed 'Yachting' for a moment. But it's officially 'Sailing' apparently

No! Then you'll turn off the sun! The fuschia is just the warning system. Apparently 'Do Not Press The Button Again' wasn't good enough.

Sorry to drag a petty hate onto this thread momentarily, but please could we learn to spell the word fuchsia? It has -chs- in the middle: the flower is named after the German botanist Leonhard Fuchs.

Thank you, Icy, I was trying so hard not to say anything!

Icy North Posted Sep 14, 2011
Yes, I was thinking, why can't they just learn to spell, for Leonhard's sake.

That's teach me for just copying the spelling of someone else.

And we never ever do topic drift on h2g2... From Big Announcement to drt's take on "Leonard Fuchs" in 17 posts

Rev Nick - dead man walking (mostly) Posted Sep 14, 2011
I feel compelled to correct that to the original "Leonhard Fuchs". Drift is (sometimes) accepted, and spellings (sometimes) not

I'll have to make a note to mentally pronounce fuchsia "FYOOKsia" so I don't risk the ire of certain -fuchs-, sorry, "folks" I mean.
