Neteller announces plan to disperse funds to US customers; plan contingent on a "resolution." Neteller issued a press release today saying that it will be able to pay balance holders via its standard transfer methods if it can resolve matters with the United States Attorneys Office. Neteller made the vague statement "The Company has advised the USAO that it will use its best efforts to resolve the investigation no later than 13 July 2007," implying that it can meet preset guidelines set by the USAO.
Read full press release.

Disburse means "distribute money." Disperse means "distribute or scatter." Disperse applies to everything except money.
You can disperse knowledge to your students. You can disperse an unruly crowd gathering in your lobby. (And the crowd itself can disperse.) You can disperse flyers about your upcoming sale.
But if it is money you want to distribute, disburse it. The word comes, in part, from the French word for purse, bourse. If it comes from your bourse, disburse it.

The above was NOT the NETeller press release.
You should not make statements unless you can back them up with facts.
FYI NETeller's release is here: http://www.neteller-group.com/press/en/130.htm

The "w" on worries should be in lower case. It pisses me off when posters can't adhere by standards of elementary grammar.

Relax bro. It's an easy mistake to make. The fine people who work their asses off to make this website go do not need to be criticized for such a small mistake.
Chill out and show some appreciation for the hard work that goes into making this site go. They don't do the work for their health, you know.

Taco, when being referred to as a moron, as you so often are, should one capitalize the M ( Moron ) or do you prefer it in lower case ( moron )

Exactly, they do it for pay! not their health, hence the expectation of proper writing skills

gotsteam, unless you enjoy dispersing into the wind, it would help if your point was actually worth making.
Dis*per*sing; aka pissing.

However you like. Doesn't change the fact that the "w" should be in lower case. If I was you, I'd quit while I'm behind.

Taco, "lowercase" is one word. There is also no subject in the second sentence. Your "I'm" in the last sentence should be "I was".

I think I qualify as literate. I studied English Composition at University of Toronto.
Setting aside how embarrassingly bitter and anal this complaint would be if it were correct, the use of "disperse" is not strictly wrong in that bulletin.
If you really were that anal, you could make a case that it is a marginal usage. But it does have to disperse funds as part of the definition of disperse right here in the dictionary I keep at my desk. (Holt, Rinehart, Winston Compact Dictionary of English).
Bottom line: this thread is even more ridiculous than some of you may have realized.

I remember a guy named Spellchecker that used to post here. You guys should check out some of his stuff by finding him in the "Members List". He had a style of posting that was quite witty and considerably less annoying than gotcream.

I disbursed all over myself last night when I hit the under, the Toronto ML, AND a parlay of those 2 all in the same game, I'll tell you that much. But unfortunately, I dispersed those funds back to someone else when f**king Chris Ray disbursed the f**king game to the Angels.

It was a regular book that received my disbursement of funds on that game, not another player.
But I'll tell you what, I've got a few plays I like tonight in MLB, so there's the sweet smell of the dispersement of others' funds in my general direction in the air.

I have spoken to 2 guys that work for SBR and I swear I am lucky if I understood 20% of the words from both and the conversations were about 10 minutes each, I just kept saying yeh.
Where they get these guys I do not know.

Maybe its the sock we put over the phone when you call. We found it shortens the wasted time considerably.
