    John2 I have noticed that you cannot spell argument which is one of those strange and inexplicable things in life probably the brain having its own subconscious joke and showing off its independance from conscious centres.

    I digress..

    You always spell it arguement when it's argument.

    Arguement is the american spelling. I don't know how much of my choice of spelling is because of my time living in the US, and how much is because my browser spell checker defaults to the US dictionary.

    What I do know is I don't care how I spell it, only unbareable pedants would take issue, and that thought amuses me.

    LOL, ok this link:

    Because of this, arguement is a common misspelling of this word, one which some people think should be accepted as a valid alternative. The website arguement.net deliberately adopts the misspelling, defending its choice on the grounds that misspellings like this are ‘so benign that usually they serve only as a criticizing point for people who can't argue arguments, but are switching their focus to these “fundamental” flaws in your character’.
