As my girlfriend looked over my shoulder to ask me what I was doing on the computer, I replied "I am on bike forums dear". She replied "are they all 14?" I said, "Why?", and she said, "because they can't spell for ****". I found it funny. I spell stuff wrong all the time but I click edit and fix it. I didn’t post this in a specific thread because I didn’t want to insult anyone. Please people, this isn’t tractorpullforums.net. We are generally well educated middle class people and we can’t spell words like suggestion and aero as well as many other words. It is pathetic, read before you post. We look like idiots.
Good point though, my friend. A little bit of effort goes a long way to getting a post taken more seriously. Typos are one thing, but blatant misspellings?

*hint* Microsoft Word has a great spell check feature....
