Unless your hair dye has a peroxide content >5%. Then be very scared.
However, do not fret about the lightening hitting your house, tree, hamster or self.
"Light-ning"
"Light-en-ing"
See?

That's better, and I haven't upset anyone.

Oh you are not along its driving me insane too.

Along with a rush of "could of" which seems to be everywhere.

I am trying not to be a Mardy mare and ignore it.

I'm surprised at how common 'lightening' spelling seems to be nowadays.
