Slyxdesia

A Dyslexic way to spell and say, Dyslexia.

My friend Chris is fighting the negative stereotype that rednecks have of dyslexics, so we make light of his Dyslexia by calling it Slyxdesia. We had half of northeastern California calling it that by the time I moved away.

Honour

The colloquially British spelling of the word "honor", which is derived from the Latin "honor". Blame it on Their Majesties. It's Their English.

The spelling honour is some times used by people from countries outside Britain as well, if they are desperate to make the point that they are not American.
