Using SBSettings? If so, that's probably the culprit. The toggles seem a bit random - sometimes they'll toggle but not actually do anything (the phone toggle is particularly bad for this). Toggling wi-fi via the Settings app still works fine.

... which makes the whole JB thing a bit pointless for me as SBSettings is the main reason I do.

Not had that, except today when the office wi-fi went bonkers anyway. It'd be a bit annoying if I did because right now wi-fi is my only option for data (at least until I decide if I want to sign up for Simplicity).

Minor rant about this new "Game centre" being spelt the American way, and not being able to change it.
Won't be exchange if you set it up through Yahoo, then

Probably worth setting fetch to hourly to try and solve the problem, then. Checking hourly (and you can still do manual as well) will probably help with your battery drainage...

Other than that I'm stumped, I'm afraid...

Strictly speaking it's the historically correct way of spelling it. The UK moved away from that spelling along with a number of others over the years, whilst America retained it. Also includes "color" and the use of "ize" in a word.

Strictly speaking, it's French I believe.

/me adds that to the list of things he learnt today.

There is a great book by Bill Bryson called "The Mother Tongue". It's been way too long since I read it, but can highly recommend it

I should probably stop pulling this thread OT though

I am still English, living in England, so they should allow for variations. I can change the other folder names, so why not this? /rant.

I think the majority of old English words come from either French or Latin, obviously our last invasion was from the French. I'm a big lover of words & language - I have that book queued on my iPhone to listen to, funnily enough, skim read it on a plane a few years ago but wasn't paying much attention. Sorry, will also stop taking thread off too!
