I've spotted a typo- Do I win a Prize?

[tea lady]

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.


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.

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.

Oh well! I'm not that good at being the spelling nazi!

Maybe he want's 'Band Sawn' or 'Bandsawed'.

[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.

[Cliff Rogers]

Chris nailed it.

Bandsawn ain't a real woid.

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

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

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.

"paricipate" and "C lick"

BTW, I still have to go through about 3 different screens to actually get to the forums, and this is under Linux and Android, using Firefox or Dolphin...
