Words & Wordplay - February 2007

It's so annoying, and unbelievable lazy of them! I understand why people do it when sending a text - you need to use as few characters as possible - but why do it when you're replying on here? Don't they know how to spell?!

as in more than one chassis.

The way I understand the on-line dictionary is that it's only pronounced differently, but spelled the same as the singular form. This makes no sense when it's in a sentence.
Ex.
I have one chassis.
I have two chassis.
I have three chassis.

It just don't look right to me....
