Any other spelling mistakes?

As you can probably tell, I went to the Ice Tea school of spelling. So I have fixed radagast's "Date Rage" problem (no offense to his love life) and and lyra's "state you of residence". If there are any other errors that keep annoying people so much that they want to scream, kindly tell me about them.

Well ok matt, but only because you asked. On the beginners page two of the category descriptions are reversed. The Product Construction description talks about gear care and maintenance and the Care and Repair description talks about gear construction.

If I have another day like the last two, I might have to prescribe to your methods, lyra.

1) there are some days when mydol and beer is the breakfast of champions.

2) talk about thread degeneration!

ROTFLMFBO!!!

Skullcap, I'm sorry, but the idea of Mydol and Beer interests me somewhat more than spelling mistakes...LOL.

thread degeneration?.. Is d'generation the X Gens?.. what about baby boom threads?.. do they get left out? passed over? put out to pasture?

why is it that d'generation gets all the media attention? it's not fair!

Dang thread degenerates anyway.. do any of them pay their own way, or do they all still live off their mommy and daddy?

Rad, could you please? I'm feeling a little funky at the moment.

A bag of douche chips may help out also.

LOL! I was sure someone was trollin' as Matt when I read that post, but it does look real. With serial mispellers like me around, there will be plenty of fixin' to do:

He might consider fixing the first post on this thread tho':

I rember matt when he graduated from my school. He was a troubled student, he spelt every thing write. We fixed that. By the 9th grade we had Matt messing up puncuation, and haveing trouble with his own name. What a good student he was.

Hey, Matt, I have a complaint. This site constantly misspells all of the cuss words. What is up with that?
Dunadan

Dunadan,
That is on purpose. I added a cuss filter so that things might clean up a bit. But the contents of this thread obviously prove otherwise.

SPELLING
For all of you that complain about spelling. Read below and tell me that the words are misspelled.

Don't even think about using spell check!!!!!!!!
