Spellings/Misspeling?

Couldn't refrain from commenting on some of the "misspellings" on Ford Barn. Many are comical and I often wonder if they are deliberate.
 
I suspect that most are accidental. I feel that the "accidents" should be overlooked since these folks have so much to contribute. Gar Williams
 
[FONT=&quot]What I do to try to reduce the number of grammatical and spelling errors before posting a message is to copy the message into Word and do a spell check on it and then paste it back into the message. It is very easy and only takes a minute or so to do. It seems like there is a pretty good spell checker on Fordbarn that catches a lot of errors if you correct the highlighted words it produces. Correctly spelled words and correct grammar are easier to read and follow. Just my two cents.

Well....I'm just an ignorant grease monkey and can't spell worth ten cents anyway. As long as a person can get their message across in a legible fashion what do a few spelling errors matter?
 
You can always tell a typo from an spelling error. I think as long as the point gets across, who wants to nit pick.
 
I really don't care what your spelling is like. This forum is about Model A's and it doesn't matter what educational levels you were blessed to receive.:)
This has been hashed over before and ended in grief when all the "holier than thou's" piled on.
I recall one guy saying he just "closes the post" if he see's spelling errors. I mean really...get a grip man!

Threads like this should be nipped in the bud before good honest inteligent Model A'ers with admirable mechanical skills and a wealth of experiance to share.... get their feelings hurt and drop out:(
Oh...and for the record I never use spell check so I hope you'all find at least one error in this message:rolleyes:
 
Threads like this remind me of juniorhigh, always having to find the weak spot and pick at it. Rod
 
I never cared for nit picking. I spell how i spell and i am what i am.
I never have trouble reading other peoples post no matter how they spell.
 
Not to nit-pick, but what bothers me, are those posts where the punctuation is totally lacking to the point of not being understandable. Sometimes I wonder how others understand them.
 
If it's spelled wrong, id never catch it anyway:D.
I've been here about a year and i've never read a post i diden't understand, even if some words were spelled wrong.
im probley the worst speller here, and i don't use spell ck.:eek:.
 
I don't have a problem with it, but I wonder, why do so many people spell it "bumBer" not "bumPer"? I saw three different signs at Hershey that spelled it the same way.

I see it here, other car message boards and ebay...is it a regional thing?
