Neither does "Combat". Why the hell can't they just spell things correctly for a change?

I never took a topic about the deliberate mispelling of a word seriously.

Oh what, so we were supposed to tell it was light hearted from your tone of voice or something? You hardly made it clear that's what you intended. This is the internet.

Look, you started a stupid argument and you lost it. I'm not gonna hold it against you but it's more than a little pathetic when you come out with weak defences such as this one to try and regain some credibility.

Just admit you were wrong :D

Accepted enough to be in the english dictionary, and therefore universally correct you mean?

"Kart" came from "cart". Spelling it with a K has become accepted.

kart ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kärt)
n.
A miniature car used in racing. Also called go-cart.


So there it is, the correct spelling is Kart, although Blank's preferred spelling of "Cart" is *also* correct. Which is to say it might get you marks on an exam paper, but everyone know's it's wrong ;)

Ah, I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. A topic about the spelling of a game name...and you think it was completely serious?
