Guys, when you post a thread, try to make sure that you are spelling manufacturer names correctly. I will go in and edit thread titles on occasion but for example ATI lists their product as 'ProCharger' on their website, not as two separate words. Our search feature is not case-specific, but 'Pro Charger' or 'Pro-Charger' is not the correct spelling.

Don't even get me started on 'pulleys' vs 'pullies' AHEM:

1 entry found for pulleys.
pul·ley ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pl)
n. pl. pul·leys
A simple machine consisting essentially of a wheel with a grooved rim in which a pulled rope or chain can run to change the direction of the pull and thereby lift a load.
A wheel turned by or driving a belt.

I agree. On a positive note, horrible spelling has forced me to become quite proficient with the 'Advanced Search' feature. Any thoughts about adding a spell checker to the forum?

It could still be argued that an optional spell checker would be immensely helpful – especially if whomever configures it adds our sponsor list and perhaps a subset of common abbreviations to the dictionary. Frankly, I would not be disappointed to see some of our abbreviations go by the way side - often they do nothing more than obfuscate posts and furthermore contribute to spelling delinquency. JMHO

How about a Forum 'spell check' function.
