Twice in two weeks I've been on-line with Brits who have spelled, "genius" as "genious." Is this standard British spelling?

Looks like a back-formation from ingenious. How about the in- in that one? Doesn't mean not or un- there either.


Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Nope. Just a misspelling.


Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
