I try to never use no double negatives when I post on The Barn.
I find that it is just not no way to communicate.

Since you asked, you must be some type of expert. Why do I type p's for b's and q's for d's, sometimes I type an n for an h and a b for a d. I'll do it when writing longhand or typing. What's up Doc?

I recall one guy saying he just "closes the post" if he see's spelling errors. I mean really...get a grip man!

Threads like this should be nipped in the bud before good honest inteligent Model A'ers with admirable mechanical skills and a wealth of experiance to share.... get their feelings hurt and drop out
Oh...and for the record I never use spell check so I hope you'all find at least one error in this message
Craig,
Well said, I'm with youse guys!

Saw this somewhere a while back and thought it worth saving:


I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulacity uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid aoccdrnig to rsceearh at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy...it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzang huh? Yaeh and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt......!

I think the real question asked was is it ignorance, laziness, or on purpose?

And it looks like the answer is, who cares, this is Ford Barn where each has an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers no matter how good his spelling is.
