    Default Definitely is definitely NOT spelled definately

    I hate to pick, but it seems as though that with all the college degrees that are said to exist in the SCCA membership demographic, it would seem that you people would definitely be able to spell a word that is most definitely as simple to spell as the word definitely most definitely is!

    Thank you. This will definitely be my last post about your spelling. Definitely. :P

    I would think that with the Web being essentially a decade old that anyone with a connection would be past the BB spelling Nazi phase of evolution.

    Get over it.

    You want to complain about spelling? Get out your pen and write to the company that provides the closed-captioning for "Tuner Transformation" and "Sports Car Revolution" on SpeedChannel. It was TOTALLY illegible last night, bordering on hysterically comical...

    Ah, you must be referring to the common cheater tool spell check. I've heard that as long as it isn't directly incorporated into the forum and you cut then check, it is within the allowed GCR rules.

    I thought the GCR required us only to have all the letters, not have them in the correct oredr.

    Numbers are more fun. You can never misssppel a number. Of course, it may be the wrong number, but even then you can't misssppel it.

    The bonus to numbers is that you can just hold down the shift key if you ever get pi$$ed off, and get away with some thinly-veiled bad language.

    I couldn't care less about how people spell on the boards. As long as you can understand what they are talking about.

    Oh, I think you could have.

    It was "to the point", legible, and spelled accurately, I found it a bit brusque and it left me yearning for a bit more eloquence.

    Jake, next time try to say it "with feeling..." using much more descriptive language (or, at least with flowers).
