I still can't decide if I like Sul's reply best or Blitz's - absolute quality both of them - I think we could actually be in the presence of greatness!

Oh Goody. We now have a delightful activity when we all meet up at rallies this summer....The First Annual Big Dog Spelling Contest. Perhaps we'll gather a crowd of gay moped riders to cheer for us! Won't that be grand? :job:

I always tell the wife. There are 2 ways to type. Techincal letters and online. Online is a great deal relaxed.

Gas, lets be honest. Some people just can't spell. But to ignore the automatic spell checker is just fucking lazy or stupid! I agree that it's great to poke fun at the topic, but I would be embarrassed if I submitted a paper or document that looked like it was written by a 2nd grader. :confused:

but these aren't papers or documents - trust me I know a bit about this - I am a Chartered Tax advisor for Deloitte & Touche and I have to review other peoples work, including letters and such, all the time and spelling mistakes piss me off as there is no need for it. However, this is a bike forum, so who gives a fuck would be my only question

GDOG,

You bring up a good point about the spell checker, but to be honest, I never even noticed the little icon until you mentioned it. I will try to use it more, but that said still not going to be too overly concerned as I am sure most on here would not be either.

It is after all a Biker Forum and most are just trying to get their thought across quickly. Not what most, if not all of us do in real life, as far as documents and more formal writing goes. To me it is no different than so many people I have worked with that use AIM, Yahoo messenger and such and do all the informal conversation, but are very shy to put it down on a formal email.

Worse, like so many people do with cell phones and text messaging, carry on a big conversation on text message instead of just dialing up the person that is obviously there and talking to them.

Let's get back to important things like this

Hey G-Dog, We all have pet peeves, You can have yours, but in reality, I spend quite a lot of time typing letters to customers, Employees and all that Jazz. When I post here, I rarely have time to get a complete thought out.

Regarding auto spell checker, People who rely on those, often have correct spelling but the wrong word. Point here is, this is an informal biker site, I know I make a lot of Spelling errors, But I see Grammar errors as well as incorrect usage here all the time. Now we all know one thing, The rest of us can make as many errors as we want, But if you do, it's open season. :D
You got it man! I live to wear the bullseye! Just the way I roll!!!:cheers:

Good God.......waking-up to this thread makes me feel like I'm still living with my Mother. "Did you brush your teeth" ? "You're not going to school looking like that" ! :bang: What's you want ? good grammar or good taste ?

Hey GDOG... I don't honestly care if you don't like the spelling. I think the point has been made. Further, because I don't care, I won't hold it against you.

Its like driving here in Michigan. I don't care if you don't like to speed, just don't get in my way. If you do, I'll go around, cut you off, and if you don't retaliate (sp?) then I don't care. If you do something like flash your brights, you better have your foot over the brake cause you're going to get a face full of tailights and quickly get real close to my tail.

Oh, and if you're like me and use the q-reply mostly, there is no spell check!!!

It is a forum, not our work
Forum rules are not the same as work rules
They are much more relaxed
