It's spelled axLE
...There are 3 posts on the first page misspelling this word. I know it's a bit counterintuitive, but axLE is the proper spelling ya'll.
Just a humble correction.

Spelling is also one of my psychological quirks - my mother was a stickler, and misspellings stand out to me like ALLCAPS. 
I have to make a STRONG conscious effort on BBSs not to go off on people about it

When I get to typing sometimes I forget to check my spelling and post it anyway. I figure you get the idea. It's not an engine rebuild, so I'm not too worried about the occasional dropped/ swapped letter or misspelled word causing a failure of my internet connection or burnup of my hard drive.

Just thought I'd bring this back up to the top. Another crime has been committed and I thought it my duty to rectify the situation, lol. Sorry if I'm being annoying.

Thank you. I don't feel so alone now. I thought I was the only spelling ****. I've been keeping quiet about it until now.
What irks me is doing a "search" for something, but not finding it because some Jethro spelled it wrong.
And don't get me started on punctuation.........

While we're all here, you know what bothers me the most? WHEN PEOPLE TYPE MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS IT ALSO BOTHERS ME WHEN THEY REFUSE TO USE PUNCTUATION CAN ANYBODY ELSE RELATE.
Whew...I feel dirty....
I was going to complain about spelling, too, but knowing my luck I would misspell something and look like an idiot.

Thanks for posting, you picky people! I no longer feel alone. I fight the urge to point it out. My wife and kids hate it -- if they only knew how often I have bitten my tongue.
I learned English as a second language -- spelling, punctuation, pronunciation were drilled into me. I once asked my 4th grade teacher why he picked on me about English and not my friends. "Because they speak English at home; I can't help them when their parents make the same mistakes. But I can help you!" I think he did.
I can forgive typos, however. THE ALL UPPER CASE, orthepeople whoseemtobeinshortsupplyofspacesorpuctuationmarksd rivemenutsifyouknowwhatimean.
But still, I have been able to take it in stride. Mark Twain commented, "It's not a very smart man that can only spell a word one way".
Or one of the cutest: I cant spell, so waht!
Pay attention to what you are doing. Any errors here are intentional; yes, every single one of them!

On some of the sites I frequent, they installed an online spellchecker right in the "reply screen," so that you can run your post through before you submit it. Slick!
It's OK to be a Ford Truck driving redneck, just don't spell like one...

Our 4x4 club just had some calendars made up with pictures of our trucks on it. They are really nice, but the list of mods on one of my chevy (please forgive me) trucks shows that I have a solid "axel'' conversion. I feel like an idiot even though the guy who typed it up for the calendar is the one who screwed up. Just glad to hear that I'm not the only one that is so picky.

Not the worst mistake.
I work for the Army so I know a lot of Army officers, many West Point grads. Of course, the Army-Navy football game is a big deal, but it doesn't stop there.
Several years ago, the US Naval Academy (Annapolis) issued diplomas that read US Navel Academy; naturally, when the error was detected, the diplomas were collected and destroyed, contractor that printed them was not rehired. ... Wait, but not all were destroyed. Of course, the existing ones are owned by Army guys; just for kicks. And another Army gottcha.
Now that is an embarrassing mistake.

If more people wouldn't be able to cash or deposit their Paycheck
(Cheque) unless the spelling of their name was correct they would soon learn how really important it is with everything else,especially with the English Language the way it is with all its quirks.
