    We are a funny bunch, but spelling is not our forte.  I've seen a car advertised as having "duel" exhaust.  That must have been an interesting setup!

    I also saw a truck advertised as being a "disil".  Not only spelled incorrectly, but no respect for the genius its named for: Rudolph Diesel.

    Duel exhaust is very challenging.   
     

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    It appears (from the phone number) that the photo is taken in the UK, where "yogurt" is spelled "yoghurt".  Sorry - didn't mean to take the fun out of it or disparage anyone ...

    Spelling:  Not long after we moved to CO, I found an ad in the paper for a:  "5000 lb worn wench".  Decided I really didn't need one of THOSE.

    As a teenager who was just honing his smartarse skills, when I would come across an ad in the classifieds that read "Wanted to buy..." I would call them and axe them why they no longer wanted to buy the item. Their past tense use of wanted had to be explained to every one I called. I suppose I've always been a wise a$$.

    Spelling is interesting.  I learned how to spell "their" (I could never remember the correct order of the "e" and the "i") when one of my gradeschool teachers told me that it has "the" in it.  I learned how to consistently spell "vacuum" correctly when I heard someone say to think pronouncomg it using both "u's" ("vac-you-um").
    Also, have you ever noticed that "homeowner" has "meow" in it?  Good luck pronouncing that correctly ever again

    The all time bit on this issue is Gallager's - he uses a 4 letter flip chart to show the ridiculousness of the English language

    Hoem? No...

    Nome? No...
    Numb Really? Some rhymes with Numb? 
    Dumb. All of this is really dumb. 

    Then there's the old "I" before "e" except when sounding like "a" as in sleigh and in weigh.

    When did “impordant” become a word?
    Recently I’ve noticed that commentators and news personalities can’t pronounce  the word “important” properly”
    Must be Ebonics infiltrating our pronunciation of every day communication, or maybe it’s just my bad hearing.

    Re: Car guyz have a cool sense-of-humor.....

    They constantly use the word "impacted" incorrectly as well.  Impacted is NOT the past tense of the verb impact.  It is an adjective describing a condition, i.e an impacted tooth.  Made impact on/upon or had an impact on/upon is the correct past tense way to use the verb impact.  I hear journalists and other people who should know better make this mistake so often I'm surprised when they get it right.

    I guess two vehicles pace off like 20 tire rotations from each other, then turn and rev.  The winner is determined by volume?  Or is it sound quality?  It should be sound quality.

    If I could ever just get this group to not lose their mind every time something comes loose…

    Something that came loose might have gotten lost, but it had to lose its torque setting before it got loose.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
