Guess that shouldn't be overly surprising.  My expectations wouldn't be too high for anyone that would spell Jeeps with a "z".   ;D

This is awesome!

Not thirty seconds after scanning topics, and I found that the spelling is better in a grade one class..

So far I've read about forsted tail lights, reae springs,  runnin ruff and tans problems...

+1 for the first person to sign up there and making a post on learning how to use your spell check...

*Edited for grammar and spelling thank you to Fiend, and Dunl for correcting me!*

I had this app for my phone, and after using it for five mins, I got rid of it! Terrible!

Looks like an okay jeep enthusiast site to me.   It has been around for 7+ years, appears to have a good mod team, and if you check, they actually have a good set of rules posted.   As for real dumb questions posted, who hasn't posted a dumb question?

Nothing really pisses me off more than people who scream about using a spell check. In a lot of cases, it isn't worth a damm when you have real spelling issues.  And if the poster happens to have something called dyslexia, a spell check isn't going to work for them.  

As for spelling,

not 3o seconds scanning topics and the spelling is better in a grade 1 class..

your grammar matches the spelling, "thirty" is written as the digit three, followed by a zero, not the letter O (upper or lower case), your fragment should start with a capital and be a complete sentence, and it should end with one period, not two.  Perhaps you should edit this a second time.

There's a quote somewhere about "people who live in glass houses....etc".  Perhaps you guys should look it up.  ;)

benefit of the doubt. i went back to that forum. the spelling was looking better, but some of the questions and answers were way out there. i understand that there is no dumb question, but the answers given to these simple questions were brutal. so if im a dick for pointing that out then im ok with that, i have big shoulders.

Point taken :D Thanks for the tip! I know I am not one to talk, but for some reason, reading all day at work makes me pick out all the spelling mistakes, and then of course not looking at my own. You did make me laugh though, and for that, I give you a thumbs up.

The first mistake I edited was even worse! I spell checked, but of course firs was spelled correctly! Just goes to show I should perhaps wrap some bacon around my foot next time before shoving it into my own mouth ;)

You better watch out Trev...Darcy keeps his 1 meter metal ruler close to him and he's quick on the draw!  You'll get a smack if you don't go back to your desk and behave!


à la prochaine! ;D
