Does Dell Know How To Spell?

[zflauaus]

I thought this was somewhat funny.

[dylomel]

so now we learn a new word.......dest----KOPs :D !

[mad jew]

Nice find. :D

One more reason to get an Appel.

[ham_man]

And the fantastic punctuation...

"...prices!Prices..." :rolleyes:

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.

[mad jew]

Ouch Lacero. Kudos for the find.

MmmmWaaaaHaaaHaaaHaaa... damn you're brutal.

Well given that Dull is that actual name of Dell, I'd say YES, they suck a spelling... and R&D, and style, and taste, and ethics, and...

But he who casted the first sin isn't a multibillion dollar corporation. ;) :p

Who has not misspelled a word on an internet message board? :rolleyes: Dell actually pays someone to write their advertisements, on the other hand...

lame... everyone mispells things on this site... not to mention atrocious grammar and puncuation... myself DEFinitely included... dell pays people to make their site, whole different ballgame

Apple made an even bigger spelling blunder on that one commercial where all the words flew by and one was spelt wrong. A MR user caught it, which amazed all of us. :)

It's called karma. I've almost learned to stop criticizing people for these kinds of things.

Seems like every time I do, I turn around and make a silly mistake -- usually one more obvious than the one I criticized -- myself.

D'oh!

In all fairness to Dell, Apple did make a spelling error in the new iMac G5 intro video (http://pulsar.esm.psu.edu/Faculty/Gray/graphics/movies/imac_2004-intro_m480.mov), at about 11 seconds in, "pocket" is spelled "pocekt".

Alternative link for the iMac G5 video, as the other one was down...

The spelling kops should give Dell a ticket.

Yea, thanks for the backup link. The other one must of gone over bandwidth or something.

[Don't panic]

come on, it's a typo in a hidden alt field of a picture in the html code!
who cares. it's not something that the public would/should see.

i'm sure if you went nitpicking on the merriam-webster website you'd find hidden typos too.

now, if any of the alt fields spelled "dull", that would be a find
:)

FYI: It is just two frames where it's spelled wrong, when the word is expanded and lighter.

[Doctor Q]

From an FAQ at www.crimestoppersonline.com (http://www.crimestoppersonline.com/suite/faqinfo.php?ID=12):In order to use spellcheck you need to make sure that you have clicked in the text area that you want to check. Then either click on the Edit menu and select Spellcehck or press Ctrl+S.The bold is mine.

Who has not misspelled a word on an internet message board?I challenge you to find an instance where I have misspelled a word anywhere here on MacRumors. :cool:

[Lacero]

I challenge you to find an instance where I have misspelled a word anywhere here on MacRumors. :cool:Since I did point out the errors of his ways, and even though I am not paid to type, I also have kept my standards fairly high, so I too, have not misspelled on an internet message board. But jamdr, please feel free to challenge me! :D

[clayj]

But jamdr, please feel free to challenge me! :DLacero, you have to admit that your use of commas might create, shall we say, a run-on sentence of the type that, if you were in school right now, would cause you to receive a, shall we say, less than optimal grade.

:D

[Doctor Q]

I challenge you to find an instance where I have misspelled a word anywhere here on MacRumors. :cool:"Sweet" should have only two es. Or is it spelled "e's"? And should that last question have the question mark within the double quotes? :)

I do appreciate that you take the time to spell and punctuate correctly. I don't think it's necessary in a forum, but I think it makes it easier for others, so I try to do the same.

I do appreciate that you take the time to spell and punctuate correctly. I don't think it's necessary in a forum, but I think it makes it easier for others, so I try to do the same.Erm, I don't think spelling "sweet" with a bunch of extra "e" characters really counts as a misspelling, as I was writing what I was saying, which was "sweeeeeeeeet". :)

How much time did you spend looking for my "misspelling" of that word? ;)

[Doctor Q]

Erm, I don't think spelling "sweet" with a bunch of extra "e" characters really counts as a misspelling, as I was writing what I was saying, which was "sweeeeeeeeet".There! You did it again! ;)

How much time did you spend looking for my "misspelling" of that word? ;)A few. Which turned out to be a few too many on an apparently-hopeless wild goose chase. Good for you!

[Doctor Q]

How 'bout this post, where Power Mac is written as one word? Does that nitpick count as a spelling error?

[GodBless]

FYI: It is just two frames where it's spelled wrong, when the word is expanded and lighter.Which means that it is merely a subliminal message.

Lacero, you have to admit that your use of commas might create, shall we say, a run-on sentence of the type that, if you were in school right now, would cause you to receive a, shall we say, less than optimal grade.

That wasn't a run-on sentence. Merely being long with several commas doesn't make a sentence into run-on sentence. In fact it needed another comma--the only real flaw in it was that "so I too" should have been "so I, too". So there. :)

TRANSFORMERS the TV show I love growing up is getting an A-list (well almost A-List) Hollywood treatment.

Apple shipped more Macs in the 3rd quarter of 1997 during it's dark days.

Do any of you walk your cats on a leash? I've never owned a cat, but this thread has started me of thinking about getting one.

The update seems smaller then expected.Hmm.

[Lacero]

Touché mon ami. Grammatical errors, yes. Spelling mistakes, no.

[mad jew]

Well I vote for this thread being closed before people start quoting some of my more horrendous speling mistakes. :(

[dmw007]

Dell can't sell decent computers, they can't spell... what the heck can they do right???

[iDM]

Its already been said, but lets not act like Apple hasn't made mistakes in the past with typos.

True. But at least Apple sells computers that are not a piece of crap (and I used to have dell peecees, I know how bad they can be).

So there. :p
