When will the next US President realise he's not spelling it right?

Are you referring to the spelling of "realize"? Do you realize that in the USA it is spelled with a "z"?

That would appear to be the word in question, but not even 'merkins spell it as "released".

Wow! I did not see that. My brain's autocorrect caused me to miss it.

Why not click the links? Trump did not write "realize" nor "realise".

And I just realised I clicked reply on a very stale forum page so I am slightly behind the latest events

See this[^].
Also, I believe you misread the second reference. The Donald wrote "released", not "realised".

He's just a property man. Got leasing and releasing on the brain. He doesn't realise (realize for everybody else) he's idiot.
How does he fit his ego on his plane anyway?

Um, that would be:
"He doesn't realize (realise for everybody else)"
Where the English language is concerned, USian is a minority.

When it comes to spelling, people just use what they think the local custom is (or what country the spell checker is set to.) We see so many variations from different parts of the world, I now not sure what is what.
All I know is color has a 'u' in it

English is a fake language, anyway. I spent years looking for words that originated from true English tribes, before all the invasions of a couple of thousand years ago, and couldn't find a single one that was provable.
It only gets by being called a language because people use it; there's no "purity" at all, so if different groups use different dialects, so what?
"My variant of this non-existent language is better than your variant of it!" just doesn't wash.

If he releases this, do you think this releasation will be something he can handle?
BTW, why is releasation not a recognized word? When I become president, I will correct it.

Apart from the spelling error it's the smartest thing he's ever said! HOW IS HE STILL NUMBER ONE!?

Huh? The word is 'released' as in 'press release' or 'news release' and, with the informal elision of 'it has been' that's entirely appropriate for Twitter, completely properly used. I've no truck with the man myself but I really can't see the point of attacking him on completely spurious grounds. If there's one thing he's never had a problem with, it's communication!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Why do you post this shite in the Lounge. Put in the Soapbox so that I can take your bait and give you a good fight. 
|

Because it was about the spelling not the politics. Besides I don't think we would be fighting as I think I like the guy, although I must admit that has started to wain slightly over the last week or two.

Oh. To be honest, I didn't follow the links - saw Trump's name and thought politics. My bad.
Anyhow, I wouldn't fight you anyway on the topic - I was just being silly. I'm too tired of this political crap anyways. It is everywhere you go here in the States - paper/web/people talking/arguing. I just want it to be done.
Cheers.

It's about spelling - not politics.
