I've never posted to the Rant forum before, but I've seen the word "lens" spelled "lense" one too many times over the past week or two, and it's driving me nuts! Is this possibly the correct spelling in another culture? I hope that's the case because, honestly, it's one of easiest words in the English language to spell correctly.
This concludes my rant. Thank you, and have a nice day.

THANK YOU so much for clearing that up! Now that I know it's okay, I won't let it bother me AS much. :) I do appreciate the correction, and again, my apologies for the rant.

Just as long as people don't start spelling your name annasens ... : )
BTW: the adjective form is lenticular -- the word lens is related to lentil, the popular legume. It's easier to say than "lens-like" or "lens-shaped." |

Wow, it was only two months since the last time we talked about this.
Enough is enough! |

If you live don't live in the San Francisco Bay Area you may not know about this story.
Update: The artist will correct the errors but will be paid $6,000 to correct them. |

Wow, now that's interesting... she doesn't see anything wrong with the incorrect names, even though her mural's on a library! Something's a little off with that...

Glass, lens, lense... now that I'm informed, you can call it whichever you like, and you'll get no complaints from me! :)

If you're going to be pissy don't bother sending PMs. My point was this comes up often and I, personally, am surprised at the frequency. If you feel foolish because of it, that's your issue, not mine. |

And note to TechnoShroom, I think you've got no class.
