            Wow. The error was made twice, so the person must be so stupid to not know the difference in the words used and the word that should have been used....

              ...or maybe he was trying to get noticed to that his ad would be picked up and promoted even further on woodworking forums... hmmm... intentional or not, that's not a bad idea

                I see this an awful lot, even among people with college degrees.

                LOML has a condition we jokingly call verbal dyslexia, where she ends up using a word that sounds similar but is not correct. After 23 years, I can finish her sentences but sometimes the effect is comical.

                When I was in college and working at a power plant, the instrumentation and control supervisor could not spell the simplest words, even though he had an electrical engineering degree from Auburn. He could get stuff fixed, but writing it up was a whole other adventure.

                  I saw this bit on tv last week, where this 30 something woman was just proposed to. She told her friend that she needed to start the 'revirgination' process.
                  Does that involve ca glue?

                    Hey Guys,

                    Maybe that's exactly what the person meant???

                    Anything is possible these days.
