We live in the age of technology...where just about everyone has access to a computer and most of those people actually know a thing or two about spelling. For those who don't know a thing or two (or have that one word or two that always trips them up) this crazy little invention called "Spell Check" was born...but apparently abandoned in a basket at the nearest nice couple's house.
Upon searching the motorcycle ads in Craigslist, I came across one classified ad that had the following spelling mistakes:
- 'un motittied' (unmodified?)
- 'egnition' (ignition)
- 'tackomitor' (tachometer)
- 'board' (as in the cylinder was bored larger)
- 'tiers' (yes, tires)
- 'achuly' (actually, my personal favorite).
I am not a perfectionist...but for the love of God, if you're going to publish something ANYWHERE you should have the common decency to make sure you don't look like an ass.

Taht's two funay!
We have a running joke around the office about a woman I work with whose emails to her customer are full of misspellings.
Examples are:
"I'm looking forward to meating you" and "Best Retards, Amy."
It just kills me.
Typos are one thing, illiteracy another... also, one of my favourite topics, so thanks for the rant.
