• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spelling

It's time to end the Spelling check, this time of the year we should be out riding (ryding)!! We are here to have fun not make someone mad.
 
I get your drift there Bob, but there is no hope if they don't know the difference between "herd" and "heard"

I guess there's no hope. So, what do you suggest? I suggest using the word with the least amount of letters, and save your wrist and finger action for some spyder throttle twisting.
 
While I will admit to a certain level of angst over my spelling, I don't find it necessary to be like some of the spelling Nazis on some forums who delight in pointing out the mistakes of others, usually with a few spelling errors of their own in the reply use to chastize. I have developed a acronym for those types:

Annoyingly
Superior
S**ts
Hollering
Over
Lackadaisical
English
Spelling

So, do two wrongs make a right?
 
I guess I'm just old school. Spelling mistakes bother me. Here are several I have seen the past several months that bug me a lot.

Break vs brake - Break is when you bust something. Brake is what you actuate with your foot to come to a stop. Spell check is dumb. It doesn't know the difference.

Tie vs tye - Tie means to join. Tye, well it ain't the right spelling!

Heard and herd - Heard is what happens when sound tickles your ear drum and your brain interprets it. Herd is a bunch of cows!

Ryde and ride - As long as we're talking Spyders, I'll accept ryde. :thumbup: Any other brand, you better use ride. Don't want to insult your Spyder, do you?

Reel and real - Reel is what you have on your fishing pole. Real is what ain't fake!

I may add more as I come across them!


I agree, but does this apply to members here from Tennessee ? :popcorn:

Bob D.,

Can't you get another gun thread started, so this thread dies off?

"Spill Chicks" work real well; don't they? :shocked:

I am certainly happy to see that such a spelling and Grammar critic can spell ain't correct. :roflblack:
