Bluenoise Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Can someone top these ones found in a carefully labeled storage cupboard at work. "Assesories" "Battery Charges" And my personal favourite, "Vaccumme" Not really. That's how I typically spell battery, is it wrong. Or do you mean that they added charges after it??. And accessory? is that right. I think there's a c in there somewhere... For those of us extreemly spelling challenged, please have some pitty.

ydoaPs Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't know whether you did it on purpose, but you have also spelt "labeled" wrong. No, he spelled it incorrectly. In your sentence, "wrong" modifies "have 'spelt'". "Wrong" is and adjective, and as such, cannot modify a verb. You need an adverb, such as "incorrectly."

I thought the very same thing as I posted it, but decided I couldn't be bothered changing it to "wrongly" or some such thing. edit: you can probably understand why I'm having so much trouble writing my PhD dissertation, and why I'm procrastinating on SFN!!

Tetrahedrite Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Australians don't even know American! Well colour me pink, you're right, I specialise in sucking at spelling.

Phi for All Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That's how I typically spell battery, is it wrong. Or do you mean that they added charges after it?I think it was supposed to be "battery chargers". Kind of tough to leave a charge laying around. I've heard the biggest Spelling mistake was casting Shannon Doherty in Beverly Hills 90210 (sorry, my company's HQ is near Hollywood and I have to hear these jokes). (Now I'm labouring the point a little).In the USA (not "America") we prefer management. We take the Aussies and put "U" in labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/note to self] May the Gods preserve me from the rampant floccinaucinihilipilificatrix. I don't know whether you did it on purpose, but you have also spelt "labeled" wrong.
