Stupid ebayers, What the hell is wrong with some people? I'm tired of seeing Weiand spelled WeiLand and being pronounced We And or We Land, LOL! It's pronounced WHY-AND like in "Wind it up" and then there's the idiots that spell HOLLEY (as in carbs) without the E "Holly" and both names are right on the parts up for auction!
Is it for a camero or a Mustang Mark 1? Did you see any Nitro kits for Hondas on ebay too? hehe StuK
And there's Eldebrock, Edlebrock, etc...
I do searches for Biuck every once in a while too. I've never had a result without at least a couple with that misspelling. My all time "duh" favorite is bumber.

72 SlklylllalrlklMy real fave is those using "then" and "than" interchangably or incorrectly..... "I would rather have a pizza then a Big Mac" is a much different statement than "I would rather have a pizza than a big Mac".
But... if the worst things in our lives are mis-spelled or mispronounced words, then our lives must be pretty good.
If, OTOH, this kind of stuff is bothering us all the while our ride wont start, half the accessories don't work or there is something really naggingly wrong with it, we have a real need to re-adjust our priorities...
They should call and ask Kennie Bell how to spell/pronounce it.
Check out a few "Elderbrock" Ebay listings also! I tried it for fun and actually got results! LOL

However, though I have several degrees, and I make such errors, this does not mean I am a dumb hick.
Personally, I am far more interested in the bidding price for the part I want. I really do not care if the seller spells the brand correctly as long as I can get what I seek at a good price which will allow me excess funds for other purchases.

But as a seller, I want to make sure that my titles and subject contain all the correctly spelled keywords that will get the itme the most traffic from people who are looking for it.

72 SkylarkSome ebay sellers realize that people MAKE typos & want their products to still be listed when buyers search w/ typos. Just my .02 cents.

funny thing, iffin they cain't spell, i don' much like buyin from em. I'm always afraid that that "typo" is actual. That what I THINK it is and what it REALLY is are two different things. Say that 'Holly' carb. You might get some old bit of junk with a piece of a holly bush stuffed down it's throat Instead of the Holley you were looking for.

a dictionary works well with the added benefit of better retention. :)
seeya, peter
Yeah, I agree there are some studid buyers also, especially those that bid more for a used item than it would cost new! Then theres some of both that I'd like to choke! I threatened one seller that I'd go to Lake Erie to check on the fishing if he didn't refund my money! he did!
How is McLeod pronounced?
