did you know that a 'neophite' has many interperetations about it! but the most commonly used is the fact that it stands for a new creation, superior and fearless!!!
anyone disagree you could send me a private message

neophyte infers new creation, fearless due to innocence and ignorance, and sort of dumb.
Others may disagree.

i think that it could be either one. there are many ways someone can be fearless
Yes, NEO, the neophYte (not ITE) is represented by "The Fool" (or Joker) in the Tarot pack as card 0. He represents the new initiate induced into the magical (or black) arts, brave, fearless and foolish.
Signified as Parsival (Sir Percival) he is the brave fool who rushes where angels fear to tread but usually protected by divine intervention or "beginner's luck". The neophyte is the one chosen to receive teachings and begin on the path of initiation and enlightenment.
On first treading the path he loses his innocence and the remainder the initiate needs to journey to the end in order to regain it. Maybe this will feature in the new film?????
Can't wait :()
thanx for that great interperetation of the word neophyte, you see, ispelt it correctly this time!!!

Thats Kewl. Us Brits are very fussy about our language as you well know from tomAto, licenSe, colOr, route (pronounced rewt not raaaouwt) router (should be pronounced route-er) you buy routers from Cisco, a raaaouwter is what you cut holes in wood with but spelt the same and get these from B&Q or Homebase :D.
Confused? so are we!. We're sure you yanks do it just to wind us up and make us do Will Smith impersonations (remember the old B&W Lost in Space?). Probably subconscious after all the yank films we watch where the English guy is always the baddie and the yank is the "good guy" - we kinda slip into the role after being brainwashed with this stuff from the age of 5.
Of course it hasn't affected me at all... ;o)
have you ever noticed that if you Take the ONE. and switch it the word ONE becomes NEO

They are both correct depending on what country you are in. 'Color' is the way the americans spell it and 'colour' is what you will read when you are in the UK (I think iamatwin can back me up on that). When you start comparing words you'll see how much the 2 languages can differ (US to the left, UK to the right):
- color vs colour
- dialog vs dialogue
- donut vs doughnut
- draft vs draught
- gray vs grey
- honor vs honour
- humor vs humour
- jewelry vs jewellery
- program vs programme
- etc...
As far as I know Australia follows the UK standard (hence AgentConner saying colour and not color).
