Aussie WWTBAM faces another controversy

<< < (2/3) > >>

Peter Sarrett:
Why would you turn to Google for a spell-check when you can turn to an authority on the subject like Merriam-Webster (www.m-w.com)?  The spellings I cited are from that source.

Both pronunciations (Boogie and Bogey) are considered correct.

 Because Australians may not consider Webster's as a reputable source; they just might pay more attention to Oxford, though I'm not sure.

On the High Court question, the wrong answer was given as correct, but was 2 one of the answers??  If not, they should've reinstated the player at 32K and started him where he was...  Geez, and we think the American version gets a little dicey sometimes...

CherryPizza:
Somebody else here in Aus informs me that the contestant has been re-instated. Apparently it's been advertised that he'll be back on the next show

Or you can turn to The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, which is just fine with \"boogieman\". M-W is an authority, but there are certainly others.
