Misspelling
« on: May 10, 2009, 07:27:23 PM »
I'm not trying to be a doucher or anything, but just a heads up, I've seen multiple times that the word "gauge" is spelled incorrectly.  To cite examples, your write ups for your boost gauge pods.  You're just missing the "u"!  It may not be that big of a deal to you, but I just wanted to point it out to make it look a little more professional.

if its in write_ups you could have messaged the moderator .. unless you are talking to people that post problems !  If you are talking about the people that make mistakes when asking questions ... its people that have ENGLISH as 2nd or 3rd Language ... GAUGE and CAGE rhyme .and easy way to make a mistake ( GAGE CAGE ) . so people all over the world post things and make mistakes !


For example ... gOOd fOOd dOOr blOOd .all have 2 o's in em and sound different .. blood should be BLUD ! like BUD LIGHT just add L after B

haha.

Even those who consider english to be their first language have trouble typing (and speaking) these days.  It's those crazy kids and their incessant texting lingo.
