I like it when people say or type, "spruce"; always makes me chuckle a little. I think it's cute and it makes me think of my son (he's said it before and I've also heard him say "pumble"). I always refer to 40k as "Warpumbler".

Do a Google search for "emporer" and then do one for "emperor". Note the results.

Does that mean emporer is correct? My spellcheck says otherwise... aahkk!!!

I don't know what to trust.


Google asks, "Did you mean emperor" when I search for "emporer":



I get "About 45,500,000 results" when I search for "emperor":
