Don't be so provincial.

...mosquitoe is the British spelling much like colour...

Funnily? I can not remember going over this word in English class.
So the only words that you think exist are the ones you were taught in class? Do you realise that there are a lot more words in English than can be taught in any class?
It's one thing to complain when people mangle existing words, and use them in contexts where they don't apply, or make up sentences with weird grammar or punctuation, because then it gets (slightly) confusing. It makes no sense to object to a perfectly constructed word that is consistent with the way English words are usually formed, and has no chance of misinterpretation whatsoever.
Oh, and FWIW, funnily is a word.

It's Welsh. Welch is when you go back on your word. Curiously, the Welsh find this word offensive, but it's a different word and not to be confused with Welsh!

'misspelt' is UK parlance. It is spelled and used correctly.

The original Halo was a seminal moment in console gaming.

Given that "seminal" has another meaning, I wonder if Zonk means Halo 2 is a game to drop your pants and jerk off about...

I'm not a fan of the word myself, but I did do a Google search. Look at the tenth link on the search link you posted in your comment above. If you're going to scold someone for scolding you... *grin* I just didn't go to the blue bar; I looked at the results. That's actually pretty interesting, though. I've never actually clicked on the link in the blue bar to see that it jumps to a definition because I usually just go straight to dictionary.reference.com.

BTW, wtf happened to the blind people in your nonsensical "explanation?" and where did you get the millions of eyes from? They don't even come up in the original proverb (btw, here is the real meaning, to help you improve your English.)

Anybody want to loan me some DVD's?
