VERY IMPORTANT.

The word is NOT backround. It is backGround. It comes from the word "back" and the word "ground". A small amount of thought should convince you that "round" doesn't come into it at all. If you're ever inclined to say "backround", remember that the Bad Spelling Demon eats little boys and girls for dinner if they refuse to spell correctly. I won't tell you what he does to adults.

I would like to give a formal apology for every time I've spelled it 'backround', which is very very many. It's a very very bad habit of mine, and I can't shake it, it gets especially annoying with HTML and the like. Also, while I'm at it, I'd like to apologise for all the misspellings of definitely, and putting an 'E' at the end of with and both (which I still do on occasion..). I'd like to pride myself on spelling and grammar, but with all my bad spelling habits I don't deserve it.
