  3. For number 7, BOTH "calendar" AND "calender" are correct, depending on the definition.


    A "calendar" is a tool used to determine dates and times in a year or season.
    A "calender" is machine used to give cloth or paper a smooth,
    even, or glossy surface.


    Sorry, Mr. Station Gossip, but if you want to be a REAL Grammar Nazi (such as I), then you'll have to do a LOT better than that!
    :P
