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

[Groggy]

Ok TL, now find the other THREE.

[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?"

Cheers,
Joe

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

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

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

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.

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!!!!

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,

You are correct, I just tried a search too and got a nil result also. However, if you scroll down in the search page to the 'cloud' of words and click on 'pen' you get quite a few returns.

Not sure what you mean Michael. The search doesn't work but the search cloud does.

So, TL, you should be demanding an updated picture, showing the board with your name on it.
