Love it when we agree to disagree... ;) There are two variations on the spelling. I choose the British version -
Human feces (or human faeces), also known as stool,[1] is the waste product of the human digestive system including bacteria. (cf. WIKIPEDIA)
Thanks so much for your support and comments ;)

And I see what you mean sorry about that but is the word contaminated also of British version. I do not know all of the British versions so excuse me as I am unaware and thank you for getting that one straight..the monkey still plays his tune..I can not remember what the thing is called that the monkey plays and gets the tips for. Maybe you can tell me:)
