i didnt realise this was a spelling test, everyone knows i cant spell on here, im dyslexic and i have no idea what you mean by the second bit..

I make my share of spelling mistakes, too. The spelling checker suggestion is no more than what I tell myself. Besides, most of the people who will come to your web site don't know you from the Emperor of Japan. They will not come back if the first impression is bad. A multitude of spelling errors does not improve the first impression.

Starting a morph list with the normal type is just good organization, in my opinion. Right now, the first entry in your morph list is for mack snow. The description starts, "Macks can range from 'normal' looking to ...." Either the reader already knows what a normal leopard looks like or doesn't know. If the reader doesn't know what a normal looks like, then this reference to normal leaves him clueless. If he does know, then describing normals halfway through the morph list is wasted bandwidth. Putting the normal first might waste bandwidth but would not leave the reader clueless.
