INTAKE- SAY "WHY-AND"

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.

Steve

My 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

Winze

on ebay too?

I thought that was Camara & Mock 1 LOL!

Yes, I too, am a stickler for proper enunciation and spelling, and, when teaching computers, I do stress the use of tools such as Spell Check... and yet, even I make such errors.

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.

As a buyer, I want them to trash it so bad that nobody else finds the auction... but me.

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.

Steve

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

LOL Stu!

rather have a hummer than get nailed you say?

something wrong with that.

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?

Winze,

LOL at myself, thats *stupid
