Is the spelling mistake of administrator a running joke meant to wind up members of another forum I am not allowed to mention? If not, I recommend a program called ispell, which checks any page on the screen. Saves a lot of embarrassment.


I am not embarrassed why should I be ! It was done on purpose & if people on other forums find it a valid subject of discussion thats fantastic.

It doesn't make sense on any level.

It's too bad EATB has put a paranoid in charge of their internet marketing efforts. And "thats" the way it is.

"Thats" uncalled for ITM.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I don't get the premise of "doing it on purpose". To what end? Why this particular error that just happened to be mentioned by this poster? Was anyone here mentioning it or talking about it in any way?

Has the embarrassing spelling/grammar ever been brought up on BOF before? Sounds like it's just his excuse for never having paid attention in English class, or being unwilling/incapable of using Mr. Spellcheck.

He doesn't seem to get the point of the criticism anyway ... stuff like that makes the band look low-rent and back-alley, and not in a good way.

I think when the site first went up someone caught the misspelling bit that was the end of it.

On a few occasions. I participated in the mudslinging, at least once. I think the joke fell flat quickly, though.

It was an egregious error that he's now passing off as made on purpose so VT'ers can discuss how stupid he is. Yet, in another thread somewhere over there, he claims he isn't even the "Aministrator." Dope.

"Thats" right.

Plus, it's so obvious that VT gets under his skin so badly, which I find to be kind of cruel but also much fun.

Given that he makes typos so frequently, what would intentionally misspelling this particular word accomplish?

Wouldn't you like to know.

I gave up making fun of simpletons for Lent. Otherwise, I'd have a really great answer for you, Jack.

I guess it's the old control issue again, or else he's never liked/always been afraid of the smart asses at the back of the bus/back of the classroom :wink:
