Challenges, Contests & Prompts Literary Maneuvers
"Fortnightly" write-offs, competition, feedback 'n' fun.

No offence, but I think 'maneuver' is the American way of writing 'manoeuvre'. So it's not really a spelling mistake.

Ricky, she's right. No offense meant to you again, but the Euro-English way looks screwy.

Ricky, your comment had me rolling about on the floor, to be sure.

Your own avatar spells "theatre" the American way.
