Sorry Dave. There's nothing wrong with your definition but shoveled is the American spelling. Shovelled is the British spelling. We've always stuck to British English spelling in this game because it's less confusing. Now I'm not bothered either way as to whether we should allow American spellings, so shall we be democratic and leave it to what the rest of the game players think. Should we allow American English spellings or keep with British English? I'll go with the flow

In the meantime
