It's spelt RUBENS!!!!

[Daniel]

Noticed today that some people seem to spell Rubens as Rubins

I mean seriously wtf? Is this some kind of lame joke that I don't get because I don't visit the F1 that much or do people really not know how to spell the name of one of the best drivers of our era?

Oh dear, go and put yer anorak back in the cupboard....

And are you SURE THAT MR BARRICHELLO SPELLS HIS FIRST NAME ALL IN CAPITALS??

I have no idea whether this one is meant to be funny, but I must say I have never found any of the deliberate mis-spellings of drivers' names used on these forums in the slightest bit amusing. When someone comes up with a genuinely clever one, I will laugh, but not before.

Your right, langauge is the currency we deal with here on forums, people should know how to use a spellchecker for the unfortunate affliction of dyslexia or simple research copy and paste in the event of spelling someones name correctly. I've known the correct spelling is Rubbens, for years...

dyslexia

Why is that such a difficult word to spell? Is someone having a larf?

A dyslexic man goes skiing. At the top of the slope, not sure what to do, he asks the man next to him - "excuse me, do we zig zag or zag zig?"

"Don't ask me" says the man, "I'm a tobaggonist"

"Oh" says the dyslexic, "In that case I'll have 20 Marlboro lights!"

It's been years that some people can't spell several drivers names correctly.
Heck there are lots who can't even spell correctly usual words in English.

It just proves that:
1. They don't think much while typing a post
2. Never read their post after they posted it
3. They simply aren't as much into knowing F1 as they are fanboys of a certain driver who's name they happen to know how to spell
or
4. they just can't spell an type correctly.

I gave up on being surprised by some enormous mistakes I see almost every day around here.

...a certain driver who's name

they just can't spell an type correctly.

Sorry, but it had to be done...

There are those who concern theirselves with form and those who concern themselves with substance, but ain't nobody around here doing both.

In any event, we seem to have those properly identified as to where they fit.

And anybody who says i ain't in neither one, i shall forgive them for their ignorance, for they know not what they do
