Continual misspelling

Jon Newman

This isnt a coding spelling typo really, but whenever i come across a word that i dont know how to spell. I will write it differently everytime it comes up in a paragraph just so as that chances of a correct spelling will be right. Very annoying for anyone who read my writing. That is if they ever could read my handwriting due to its complete illegibility (spell? ;P )

On a project I was doing for SAIC, someone had spelled the word "delimiter" as "delimeter". I explained to the boss that i was almost positive that the original programmer was trying to come up with a new term for measuring the length of a submarine sandwich (deli meter), and that he really wanted the word "delimiter".

retrun -> return caren -> caret (ex-girlfirend, go figure!) There are some other funny ones, but those two are the only that come to mind.

Date invariably becomes Data, whether on it own or part of a another 'word'. Descriptino is another I'm guilty of :-) And retrun... I'm sure there are many more. :-O Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

I'm also getting very skilled at transposing characters in the middle of a word - a talent that has surfaced only since becoming active on CP and Sonork. Could there be a causal link?

...I also consistentally misspell "misspel" and "behavouir". Do you only misspell "consistently" occaisionally? :) I ocassionaly get "occasionally" correct. Steve T.

Sure, most browsers support it (good old legacy support rearing its ugly head again) but according to the XHTML specs (even the loose and transitional ones) it is not valid. Since I am ensuring all my HTML is XHTML Transitional valid at least, new is out. Oh the tyranny of typing _blank! * p.s. and this is heresey, but I think new is much more logical than _blank regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
