I would suggest, unless you drive a diesel or have an interest in vehicles, many people would indeed struggle in the spelling of that particular word. In the age of abbreviated texting and the like, it's no wonder spelling and grammar are being lost.

I'm on Richard's side here. It must take a special kind of stupid to not spell the name of your car correctly when it's written all over it.

Dare say most intelligent people can work out what it was meant to be whether a car fan or not. One or two dentist round here - "teeth pullers".
Do not think you a real car guy if you a grammar nazi - just a pretender.

Really? You can't be interested in the English language AND cars?
How many spelling mistakes is the MINIMUM for admission into the "real car guy" club?

Amazing comments appearing on here, mostly in the early evenings - a great way to pass the time on the train home from work!

And spelling horrors are nothing new: in the 1930s FORD labelled their V8 sedans TUDOR (say it with an American accent) and FORDOR.

Richard I have to admit at times I kan't spel gud. Im staring at the frikkin screen knowing full well Ive spelt something wrong and the correct spelling just eludes me.In the end I have to rephrase what im posting to avoid that word. utterly frustrating to say the least.

I'm under 40 and find myself struggling to spell at times when I used to be an excellent speller. Aging is a horrible thing.
Some people go to town in their bare feet and get declined entry to bars. That's not because I dress better than them, it's because they're not making the grade, and they don't even appear to be trying.
For there own safety i would think . If shoes make the man to you thats cool . What you think of gumboots then ?

One of the wonderful outcomes of the english language is folk called Richard can also be called Dick.

An excellent invention. I have some myself.

As anyone's mates should.
But if this matter is of so little importance to you, why the four posts in this thread?

Another issue we have is that it sees there is no end to the choice of mobile devices you can use to access TM nowadays. Some with screens so small and keypads so miniscule I can't understand how anyone can use the buggers

That, and the TM messageboards are one of the least mobile-compatible websites I've seen.
About half the time, my phone won't even display the full width of the text fields.

Dick to not let trivial people like you take the piss out of someone so easy. If you were at a barbecue with fellow car guys and a couple of the blokes mispronounced would you correct them ?

Richard move to the front of the class, No Excuse for piss poor spelling, IMO the culprits should be publicly stoned if found to commit this offensive act thrice, within one calendar month.
