Happens all the time on rallying side of the forum. I've read Tommi Mäkinen's name in about dozen different ways not to mention Harri Rovanperä which seemed to be too much for some of the members.Quote:

I find this forum okay, even the people who don't use English as their first language mostly get on fine. There are 2 other forums which I use regularly (one for my football team and the owners club for my car) where there are some shocking errors which make it hard to read a lot of the time. One post I read the other day had the usual there/their/they're cock up, only they'd done it twice. I think that they were trying to say "they're" but had used both "there" and "their" at different points.
I also saw something on facebook where the person had written using a mixture of abrevs ;) numbers in place of words and poor grammar before noting something along the lines of "to all you grammar freaks out their I know it's wrong but grammar is boring get over it lol". Now I know that grammar is boring but I actually couldn't understand the point that she was trying to make because it didn't make sense.
So when someone puts Rubins in place of Rubens I don't really mind, it could be so much worse.
@ A.F.F: If I was to check the correct spelling for every Finnish driver that I wasn't sure about, it would take a very long time :D
I know what you mean but I do it with every foreign driver.Quote:
