Mrs Colonel Posted January 12, 2010 Share I recently read that the average British teenager has a vocabulary of approx 800 words. After reading through a few posts on the Hub today, I'm not sure that Hub's vocab is too far off! How about we start a list of correct vs incorrect spelling - the one that has just pushed me over the edge is the use of "breaks" where it should have been "brakes". BASIC STUFF people! Sorry about the rant, but my job involves noticing these things, so the abundance of errors drives me insane!Mrs Colonel2010-01-12 12:56:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted January 12, 2010 Share A rim is just a rim, not the entire wheel... a wheel has spokes, a rim, a hub, possibly rim tape, tubes, tyres, even a cassette... a rim is just a hoop with lotsa holes for the spokes or nipples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASTANA Posted January 12, 2010 Share "helmut" - helmet (the thing Arny warns as about on tv, yep the thing thats suppose to be on your head when out riding to protect the road from your brains if you fall) "Breakes" - Brakes (the levers you pull to stop yourself from going over the corner on the single track and the ones you pull to stop yourself hitting the back of a taxi) edited - I even misspelled the wrong spelling of helmet ASTANA2010-01-12 07:16:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canaris Posted January 12, 2010 Share oh whoopee. the grammar and spelling police. This is some people's only opportunity to learn how to spell and string words together into semi coherent phrases and you go and bash them? Really they need all the practice they can get before they write that technical manual about teh RSA economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
