[edit] I did this for a couple of reasons, first, there was no reason for me to correct his post..... second, I just like to call Skooter stupid every chance I get. Keeps him humble :neener:

So I should say: "I care less" instead of "I can care less"?

There is no such thing as a Bumber, it's called a Bumper....

Not true. Lol, if you ever find yourself in the wrong part of London you can get a bumber for a fairly reasonable price.

"I couldn't care less"

That is the statement that means that there is no way one could even be remotely convinced to give a flying @#$!....

It's number four on this rather entertaining list:

Well they also call the trunk the boot, and the hood is a bonnet but a boot is something I wear on my foot and a bonnet is something women used to wear on their head, some Amish women still do... I watch a lot of BBC automotive programs and I have never heard the term bumber used for bumper.


Just found a definition for bumber, according to some its a slang English term for Breasts.... So I guess that fits because some people use a bra to cover their front Bumber.

It was a custom ad from the posters screen print, not yours

I'll admit, I checked online to make sure I didn't misspell the word grammar...

If some of you have trouble, I believe a change of browser may be in order. Google Chrome, and I think even Mozilla Firefox spell checks as you type. Just like Microsoft office Word.

I'm usually on at work during my breaks, and I have to use Internet Explorer So I'm forced to search everything out. I know my posts aren't perfect, but I do make every effort to present myself as a knowlegeable person of society. (Especially my usage of commas. I hate them! I either use too much or not enough)

But to be completely honest, I've been known to change a crapload of thread titles to the correct spelling. I apologize to anybody if that offends you. But people WILL take you more seriously. Instead of calling them out in a thread, I usually would shoot a quick PM. I'll inform them that I'm not trying to be a dick, but the correct spelling of such and such is__________.

I only call people out in a thread when they are being a troll.

I hate it when I misspell a word and use spell check, and I don't know the choices it gives me!

Or when the incorrect spelling looks better than the right way!

I have the same problem. I usually use too many.
