I'd guss night-night or nighty-night (nightie-night?)

[k0jak]

nn = night night, an English saying.

[Urmel]

gn8
In context, this means 'good night', but as Urmel spelled it, it read in english as 'good nate'.
I am guessing that gn8 stands for 'Gute Nacht', but since we were on an english channel, it would be better to just say gn.

Arf, h3h3, as u surely know there are also other english tongues than the american ones. Ask an aussie about the difference between n8 and night, m8

nn = night night, an English saying.

or nighty night, just the way u like

Sucks to live in your funny timezone.

spelled

Spelt, spelt, spelt! It's an irregualr verb!

[Urmel]

to spell | spelled, spelled or spelt, spelt |

smart asses, both

I would say spelt sounds better than spelled, it sounds awkward. Nevermind, for those missing the point of the conversation, English has no offical definition. None of the dialects even have definitive dictionaries, not even the OED.

smart asses

Or should that be smart arses?

I wouldn't use dictionary.com on such an issue as it seems to have random lexical differences everywhere.

Argh! We need a body to regulate the English language. You Germans are lucky in that you can sweep aside redundant letters in words so easily!

Apostrophes in English became so abused that they are now being killed off. The so called 'green grocers apostrophe' where words are pluralised (or pluralized pre 1970's) with apostrophes is wrong but now it is considered wrong to use them to pluralise acronyms and abbreviations. That's where they should be used! Thank you very much the Apostrophe Apprecaiation Soceity!

I agree, lot's of people use apostrophe's incorrectly, and it looks terrible.
Those people need to stop listening to their CDs and MP3s and start reading book's.
