It's spelt RUBENS!!!!
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?Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

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...

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 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.

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