Cotton, If I were you,
I wouldn't continue debating the helmut vs helmet issue. It's starting to make you look more and more foolish. Like I said, you're a blowhard who is incapable of admitting a mistake.
You originally wrote: "Reality says the sky is falling. Thanks for the chuckle. Buy yourself a helmut". I made a simple correction of your mistaken spelling. The correct spelling is "helmet", not "helmut". In typical fashion, you became defensive and called me an idiot and said that I'm 100% incorrect.
So, let's go to dictionary.com. I plugged in helmet and helmut:
helmet any of various forms of protective head covering worn by soldiers, firefighters, divers, cyclists, etc.
helmut No results found for helmut
Regarding your various degrees, no way, Jose. In skools (your word) of higher learning, a serious student needs to write coherently and be open to opposing views without become irate and ridiculing other people.
