I'm glad to hear it! The hide is spectacular. Nice to see someone keep a jacket around here
Have you seen this video comparing a Roadster with Highwayman, are they identical ?

Anyone got a link?
Are you sure you have a PhD ? You accuse others of poor spelling but spell their wrong 3 times...

I've seen the written report of the inspection carried out by the independent expert, which is what was videoed. As I said, the conclusions are damning.

A friend of mine from Maryland, with a college degree, spells "their" as "there." I'll take Big J's spelling over my friend's spelling as there is only a letter transposition in Big J's version. Maybe it is a colloquial thing?
I think it's just typing on the hoof. I have words that make me grit my teeth when I type them, 'silhouette' being the cardinal one, 'bureaucrat' another. It's those extraneous letter 'u's that do it.
And, really, Big J's solecism is hardly a bar to understanding - the Lounge is by all accounts an oasis of good spelling compared to the 'come again?' standards that you run up against on others. Not sure if it's down to the age of members or the nature of it.

Glad you Scots have problem with those words as well. I get in a hurry and screw them up every time. Another for me is Thoroughbred. When I am in a hurry, I misspell more than I get it right. If not in a hurry, such as now, it just pops out correctly.

I have been wondering the same thing. Just sent him an email, but he is probably in bed as it is around 2:00 AM in Germany. Hopefully, I will hear back from him tomorrow.

Thank goodness for another grammarian in the Lounge. Although this is basic, it is often misused. Sloan will love it.
Hi guys!
I want to thank you all for being so kind about my spelling errors! I have to admit, it's quite embarrassing (funnily enough, I can spell 'embarrassing' correctly the first time I type it, but 'embarrassed' often takes two or three attempts!:eeek: ).
I think that there's a couple of things happening, firstly that I carelessly tap stuff out with my sausage fingers on my phone on the go, and make lots of stupid errors. The second thing is that stupid errors then get included in the predictive typing and repeated; 'theirs/thiers' is one, most common on my phone is that 'I'm' always corrects to 'Im', and I have to go back and delete it, type it again, and over-ride the predictive 'correction' (which is guaranteed to get my blood-pressure instantly to jump whilst muttering the 'F' word to myself).
I have a friend who suffers from dyslexia, and I can't imagine how she manages. It must be so aggravating for her.
Anyway, if you think my spelling is bad, you should see my math!
Oh, and Sloan, I don't know if web forums are making anglophones worse at spelling, but a friend of mine did some research that showed that in China and Japan, young people are so used to tapping out their own language phonetically that they now often can't choose the correct ideogram (when several have the same pronunciation), and the vast majority can't write ideograms with a pen, since they have been reduced to choosing the correct one from a selection when typing on devices. I think that globally, 'youth' today are suffering from slipping standards.

As a writer, this saddens me. As a grammarian, this really saddens me. I guess I will have to go back into my protective shell of peacoats and leather jackets and not worry so much about the ways others are butchering the Queen's English. PC.
I'm a writer who can't spell, like many other much better writers - F Scott Fitzgerald springs to mind. It doesn't matter much. Worse than this are ugly ideas and inadequate scholarship written in beautifully correct grammar and spelling.

I mentioned it because Big J wrote in the Simmons Bilt thread
" why is it that every one involved with AL/defending AL on the lounge, seems to have exactly the same problems with spelling, sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation? "
Knives out, is it? I'm up for it.
I already admitted that I make spelling errors (although I very rarely make grammatical ones).
The point you now bring up is that I pointed out that 3 Alexander shills/trolls may have been sock puppets since they all identically posted comments with such poor grammar, spelling and syntax that I could only assume that the Lounge had attracted 3 Alexander fans with either an identical mental illness, or that said three were all making second-party postings via thier semi-litterate junior high children.
Or that it was the same person with multiple accounts.
What's your problem with that?
