Mistake!

I have to share this!

"This" is on ebay.co.uk, I don’t know if it’s the same on any others…

If you have an eBay account, click on your name on the left to take you to "eBay My World."  Then click "edit" on the "Bio" section.  It will take you to boxes for free text with headings such as "Things I sell" and Things I buy."  Then under each of these free text boxes, there is an instruction, "Seperate terms with commas."

SEPERATE!

eBay have made the most common spelling error ever!

As a very conscientious member of the spelling police, I called them and told them.  You can’t imagine the satisfaction!  However, that was two hours ago and it’s still not been corrected…

A-ha-ha! That’s brilliant – it’s very satisfying when big companies screw up. Petty, but still!

Hah! You told ’em.

I am a very poor speller so I use spell check and go over and over things. I can tell by looking. I’m surprised nobody caught that!

Stuff like this drives me NUTS. I cannot stand spelling mistakes. Typos are one thing, but spelling a word incorrectly is a bane to me.

Way to ceperate the spellers from the folks who don’t. …

I see you too have been out of OD pocket…so many distractions, but I hope you are well, and your boy. Namaste,
