The reason why the title of this video uses 'archeology' instead of 'archaeology' or 'archæology' is the same reason why Latin is so difficult. Languages change, usually they become less complex and thus easier.

It could be noted that under strict British English spelling only 'archaeology' is correct. 'archeology' is simply not yet accepted as official spelling and the English language no longer has 'æ'

@tiaxanderson BOLLOX.



[seanhennessy]

@seanhennessy The word is Archaeology, simple as that. Anything else is WRONG.

Illiterate people like to post all sorts of bullshit excuses for their illiteracy, the fact is, there is only one way to correctly spell words.

[tiaxanderson]

@seanhennessy If only the correct spelling is acceptable in any situation than languages wouldn't change and we'd still have 48 times 15 sexes and who knows what complicated stuff some languages thought up.

Making easier spellings and less complicated grammar acceptable and later accepted is part of language too.

Ironically the top rated comment misspelled ironically. =)

[TBoldi]

Onomatopoeia, I say!

Thanks for uploading this. Eddie Izzard cracks me up.

[x2thay]

Ironicly whoever uploaded this video misspelled 'archaeology' lol.

[LemonPencilGirl]

@x2thay Ironically the person criticising someone's spelling can't spell 'ironically' :)

[x2thay]

@LemonPencilGirl I can't spell 'ironically'? Really? *facepalm*

Do you want a moment to think that one through? Go ahead. Read my comment again and then realize why the jokes are on you.

*sigh*

[LemonPencilGirl]

@x2thay Multiple levels of irony, perhaps? Wasn't all that obvious to me but maybe my internet irony radar is playing up.

[x2thay]

@LemonPencilGirl Muah  - ha - ha,

to quote Sheldon Cooper.

[LemonPencilGirl]

@x2thay Haven't seen The Big Bang Theory but I will trust that your quotation is appropriate :)

[Sphoric]

@x2thay Ironically, 'archeology' is an alternate spelling. Not soooo much 'ironicly'.

Not that I need to repeat everyone else, but hey. <3

[TheFlashandFriends]

@x2thay Archæology is the correct spelling if one intends to be completely correct. The word has undergone some change and has lost its ash because the use of "ae" to represent the dipthong is technically incorrect. This causes the two common forms of the word: Archaeology and Archeology; with the latter replacing æ for e.

This is the same case with many words: hæmoglobin, encyclopædia, and many others.

[x2thay]

@TheFlashandFriends You do know your shit.

[mysteryshrimp]

@TheFlashandFriends There is still a scientific journal (and a good one) call Palæontogy.

[chocolatedonut31]

@x2thay No, the uploader was American. That's how Americans spell it. We also do Honour as Honor and Armour as Armor.

[EmilyLikesIceCream]

@x2thay It's the american way... bless them.

[x2thay]

@EmilyLikesIceCream 'Bless them'? Sorry, I'm way too smart to believe that means something real.
