[Groggy]

Ok TL, now find the other THREE. :D

[joe greiner]

They're called "Easter Eggs," folks, i.e. hard to find. Sometimes micro-etched on printed-circuit boards.

Many years ago, browsing some machine code, I came across the hidden phrase, "Nosy, aren't you?":D

Cheers,
Joe

[tea lady]

I have a vague memory of some circuit boards I saw with a smilie face in the space between the resistors.:cool:

[dadovfor]

Huh?? It's not ficksed ... it remains there as a special little quirk of this site.

[ubeaut]

There are were 5 (five) deliberate spelling mistakes on this forum. That one has taken around 2 years to be pointed out for the second time. The other one too almost 8 years to be found and the other 3 are still yet to be found.

Deliberately done because of a few spelling nazis a long time ago who picked up everyone's spelling. Strangely enough they never picked up the blatantly obvious.

As Groggy said there are still another 3 (three) somewhere.

No prize, other than the satisfaction of knowing (as a rule) most spelling nazis aren't very good at observation.

Cheers - Neil :U

PS By the way nazi isn't misspelled, I just refuse to give it a capitol N, that word doesn't deserve a capital only contempt.

[Enfield Guy]

Well said Sir. Good to see there is something to occupy the minds of those with nothing better to do. Back to the workshop for me now!!!!

[arose62]

Isn't there a Typo-Finding Honour Board?

I have a vague recollection that Gumby, maybe?, put a lot of time and effort into making one, and hand carved the forum name of each typo-finder into it.

There was talk of gold leaf etc. etc.

I did do a search, and just out of interest (probably to the pen-makers) if you search for "pen" on this BB, you get no hits (that's zero, none, not any!)

Makes you think that the bosses and axe-weilders on here have something against pen-turning, dunnit?

Cheers,
Andrew

[Groggy]

However, if you scroll down in the search page to the 'cloud' of words and click on 'pen' you get quite a few returns.

[chrisb691]

[arose62]

If someone who complains about spelling is a spelling nazi, is someone who complains about spelling nazis a spelling nazi nazi? :?

[RETIRED]

Nope. A pain in the neck.:wink::D

[Cliff Rogers]

Chris nailed it. :2tsup:

Bandsawn ain't a real woid.

I'm not a spelling nazi, I am just a smart asre. :D

Always have been, always will be.... buggr'all I can do about it. :p

[ubeaut]

A three letter search is a bit of a no-no for most forums not just Woodwork Forums. Why? Because a 3 letter word can throw up hundreds of false results. Below is a very basic example of a search for the word pen

You would get pen, pens, pen turner, etc, etc, etc

However you would also get many, many, more false responses, like:
open opening opened
depend, depending, dependant
pensive, expensive, expend
penetrate, penetration
suspend, suspended, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.........

The cloud search of pen or pens works because that's the word that's been taken from the thread/post and not a general search for 3 letters

Try and keep searches to 4 letters or above. A search using the word pens (Searching Titles Only) brings up 366 results and (Searching Entire Posts) brings up 4272 results

Cloud search of pen brings up 990 and pens brings up 360.
