So, who spellchecks their flyers?

We received a flyer from Action Motorcycles inviting us to a sale tonight/tomorrow night.

It was an "innvitation", they are having a "suasage" sizzle, a "bargin" bin, and we could save 25% "of" their accessories - 6pm "Till" 9pm.

Maybe it was a NSW south-coast advertising firm. There is at least one mob down there that regularly makes spelling errors in TV adverts.

That's disgusting - really. If I was the boss of Action Motorcycles, someone would be one testicle less today.

Try doing a search on 'definately' and 'definitely' on this forum

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I even check a text message before I send it - which is pretty sad given how low the acceptable standard iz 4 spllng 4 txts. But I can't help it!

My spelling checker it is faulty, so I cannot comment on this therad

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

To be in the theme of things here, shouldn't that be "brian"?

Spelling Miss Steaks on a document that is to be published and distributed are unforgivable.

In spite of the fact that I disapprove, I can understand why they occur on a forum such as this.

I could have suggestede that it probably happened because it was written by some illiterate bikie. However that would be unfair since I still remember being corrected 40 years ago by a member of Narrabri Motorcycle Club about my use of the word "less" in place of "fewer".
