Please people, it shouldn't be hard to peddle the difference between peddle, pedal and paddle! At least in the context of this forum! Peddle means to put forward, sell or market Pedal means to push your feet on pedals to cause movement Paddle means to cause movement by dipping a hand-held paddle into the water Please let me know if you need any help with puddle, piddle or poodle

Tony, I hope your comment is delivered in a spirit of pedagogy and you're not just peddling pedantry. |

It's all in the accent. Some people speak English better then others.  One time I listened to a conversation between a man from Mexico speaking English to a man from Ireland, I understood both of them but they couldn't understand each other. |

When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle, THIS is what they call... ...a tweetle beetle noodle poodle bottled paddled muddled duddled fuddled wuddled fox in socks, sir!
