As we walked into our local IHOP for National Pancake Day one of the waitresses yelled from across the way, “You cut your hair!”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Craig Ferguson decided not to poke fun at Britney Spears for at least one night.

The host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show” told viewers Monday that after seeing photos of the 25-year-old pop star’s shaved head, he reconsidered making jokes at the expense of the “vulnerable.”

Spears made headlines over the weekend when she shaved her head at a Los Angeles hair salon and then went to a tattoo parlor where she had a pair of lips put on her wrist. Spears shaved her head Friday, the same day as reports on TV and Web sites that she had briefly checked into a rehabilitation center.

“For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it,” Ferguson said. “It should be about attacking the powerful – the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards – going after them. We shouldn’t be attacking the vulnerable.”

Ferguson recalled his battle with alcoholism and said he worries Spears may be having troubles of her own.

“Now I’m not saying Britney is alcoholic, I don’t know what she is – alcoholic or not – but she clearly needs help,” he said.

I’m sure all the advid readers of BON know I am a horrible speller, as evident by all my typos and mispellings.

Well, today I visited a friend’s blog and saw this graphic.

It got me to thinking about the difficulties of spelling the months.

So here is my list of easiest to most difficult month spellings:

12 – May: One syllable and three letters – hard to screw that one up.

11 – June: See May, but add a letter.

10 – March: One syllable and easy to sound out. 

9 – July: Because of Independence Day it’s advertised everywhere and easy to remember.  It’s also the easiest of the two-syllable months and just four letters. 

8 – April: Nice two-syllable-easy-to-sound-out month. 

7,6 – TIE November and December:   Both are long in number of letters and syllables, but not intimidating since they are easy to sound out and the only difference between them is in the first three letters.  As a kid I always had a sense of accomplishment spelling out these two long words.  

5 – October:  As a kid I wanted to end this with a ‘ur’.  Trust me, I wasn’t and still ain’t that bright. 

4 – September:  Something about that ‘p’ annoys me. 

3 – January: Those double vowels intimidate me. 

2 – August:  For some reason I always want to add an ‘e’ somewhere.  I guess when I see “gust” I think of “guest”.  What’s sad is this is my birth month.  

1 – February: Because of my Texas twang, I always want to leave out that first ‘r’ and it has that double vowel intimidation thing going on as well.
