Someone was having trouble with their "Breaks" on another thread so it made me think of the typical spelling errors
that make me laugh or make me cringe.

So, few to be going on with,

"Big Boar", so you have a large wild pig slung under your car, impressive, bet it gives extra "grunt".

"Manuel Gearbox", you have a Spanish Waiter to change gear.

"Exhorst",

"Bumbers",

"Sterio"

Any more ?

That one really makes we wonder what people are thinking when they type it. Also does my head in.

Yep, my pet hate and the first thing I thought of when seeing this thread. Worst one I ever saw was "I've had many Alpha's over the years and I just love them".
So not only an annoying mis-spelling, but inappropriate use of apostrophe.
Can we have a rule where the seller of an "Alpha" on PH is shot at dawn?
