Damn, that was a bit embarassing. Thanks Human. --Remarcsd 19:57, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Hehe, whatever I did... probably just a little copyediting... I got me this whole box of commas at a fire sale... Anyway, you're welcome. human^{be in} 20:05, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] SP

Do Americans really spell travelled with 1 'l' & worshipped with 1` 'p' ? (barbaric crowd) SusanG 12:22, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Yes, and missionaries with the "i" after the "r". When I went to fix that, firefox happily offered to correct those two as well. It's an article on an American cult, so it's appropriate to spell it Americanly. (Now I know why I have to think hard when deciding whether to double up those trailing consonants when past tensing!) human ^ingenuity 12:46, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Ha - (No objections to the rationale for the spelling) it makes me want to pronounce as "traveeled" and worsheyeped. :-) SusanG 12:51, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Makes me want to pronounce them "bbookkeeppeerr"! human ^{be in} 13:04, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, Susan for my poor spelling (and typing). Please attribute it to my overseas education, not to my nationality. When I type at home on my Mac it catches my spelling errors, but here at work my PC does not when I type online. But you do really seem to have a thing about the diferences between British and American spelling. Rational Ed^faith

[edit] Joseph smith himself not racist

The mormon church was, and still is, a very backwards religion with deep prejudices regarding african americans. Joseph himself, though, was not nearly as twisted as this. In 1836, he made Elijah Abel, a black man, the elder of the melchidezek priesthood. ^{— Unsigned, by: 144.92.52.243 / talk / contribs}
