[edit] WikiProject British Crime

[edit] Spelling

An anonymous (sockpuppet?) user changed "burglarizing" to "burgling," claiming the former "is not a word."

Not only is "burglarizing" a word, it's the standard American English use, whereas "burgling" is the non-standard use, per Merriam Webster. "Burglarizing" also has a lengthy entry in the OED.

Notwithstanding 213.246.142.129 is an ISP from The Netherlands, where English is not the native language, perhaps 213.246.142.129 could, in the future, refrain from lecturing others on the proper use of the English language.

I have not changed the text back in the original entry, which I wrote BTW, as that would be a pointless "editing war."

But, 213.246.142.129, before you play "schoolmarm" again, you might want to crack a dictionary first. David Hoag 01:52, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
