What are the most common misspellings in audio???

[michael w]

Another very, very common mis-spelling/mis-use that crops up in audio postings is the use or "your" instead of "you're".





And "seperates" instead of "separates"

I've been seeing a lot of subwolfers and subwoolfers lately.

This should draw some fire. How about the pronunciation of TechNEEKS for Technics? This one is so common though that most people don't even know it's wrong.

Speaking of pronunciation - do people say ParaDIM or ParaDIME for Paradigm. Both ways are correct in the dictionary but I've never heard anyone say this word aloud.

In my science classes, it's always pronounced paraDIME.
The your - you're is my penultimate spelling peeve
Then again we all can't be blessed with good speeling

There's one company that does it all the time: Classik, Basik, Majik, Klimax to name a few! : The on rare occasions they'll spell it correctly like Index instead of Indeks.

Something that does annoy me is when it's called Pro-Ject instead of just Project. Aything to be different, eh?

Jack are you saying that Linn misspells their own product lines? Is that possible? If you create the product can't you spell it anyway you damn well please? I mean, no one says everything has to be spelled phonetically correct. Am I missing something here?

Mike,

Since the topic was misspellings in audio, I was just pointing out in jest that Linn deliberately "misspell" words in their product names hence the : . I imagine they do so to be a bit different and hence the names stick in the minds of potential buyers. Linn are regarded as great marketers? And that's not to say their products aren't great either. Sure they can spell it anyway they please, marketing is not a grammar test. Actually, I think it's quite clever because I, and I assume other consumers identify the spelling style with Linn products.

And to me their spelling is phonetically based - not that I said anything has to be phonetically correct either.

md, njoe tjoeb is a good one too. I thought it was a Dutch name when I first saw it.

cheers
Jack
