Re: Thoraited Tungsten Rods response to spelling errors

James and Kurt,
My web browser tells me when I've spelled something wrong, this is handy, as my spelling is atrocious (I especially get my to, two, and toos mixed up). I still need to proofread however, as spell check is not perfect. I suppose foreign "spelling differences" wouldn't make too much of a difference however, as colour+another word, will still find the "other word" in a search. Personally I find it somewhat amusing and refreshing to read the bizarre foreign spellings of different words, our world is very diverse, but yet no matter where we are from, we all like big sparks! But for those who do misspell the difficult technical words (or the "easy" ones), they should consider getting a web browser (or e-mail client) that tells them when they've misspelled something (it makes typing easier). As we say here in America, that's all folks.
Scott Bogard.

I agree with your point that using the wrong spelling could prevent finding archived material.

However, I could not find legastheny.
To help the translation / interpretation for others:
I did find  legasthenie ...... it showed up in connection with Dyslexia
so I see the connection now.

I do despair at incorrect spelling and punctuation ( even though I am poor at both myself) but I do feel a search for tungsten would show up all the documents

As an Englishman enjoying the list, I have learned to cope and ( sort of ) accept color, ( colour) thoro ( thorough) and find it easier on my concentration of the subject material if I do not get irritated by these anomalies. I am working on not being upset by sepErate, and TO for too many times misspelled
- not confined to the US but common in the British Isles also

That's my two penn'oth ( penny's worth = two cents = two bits ......... is there a two pfenigs worth )

Off Line, but hopefully amusing............ all work and no play makes Jim a dull coil builder

Why nobody like to spell the title as "Thoriated..." instead of "Thoraited..." ???

The whole thread might not show up in a later archive search for "thoriated".

In addition, foreign language members, like myself, would really benefit from halfway correct spelling.

P.S. I'm aware, that has nothing to do with intelligence, and would not like to discourage anybody to post to the list.
