    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!

    Cliff,

    you'll have to point out the "Bandsawn Boxes" errors.

    Have looked and looked, and can't spot them

    Cheers,

    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.

    Default A couple of typos

    WWForumSpelling.png

    "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...
