Hi, I'm trying to register to post in the forum, but your incredibly intelligent system of keeping out spam bots is, unfortunately accusing me off being one. in what year was the war of 1812? eighteentwelve eighteen twelve eighteen hundred twelve eighteen hundred and twelve one eight one two all are returned as wrong... I even looked up wikipedia to see if perhaps the name of the war is a misnomer - this was some kind of american common knowledge - but no, it certainly was fought in 1812.
