I know how you feel.
I've been on 4x4 site in the past where they ask in the wanted for an axel. I reply with Axel Rose. HaHa or you need an Axle.
It is funny how they get offended when corrected.
Like I said to the lady who darted into a lane change and no blinker. I just commented on nice blinker and she went bazerk. I tell her she is an ass for getting mad at something she didn't do. It could of been deadly for me if I was there in her path.

Which is better or worse?  Misspelling the word "brake" on a motorcycle forum, or incorrectly turning the word "misspell" into two words when posting a rant about those who do? ;D ;D ;D ;)

You're correct, and neither is a phrase without punctuation at its end.

This is fun! ;D ;D

I was shocked on my brief visit:
A) I could only buy warm beer. :o
B) I couldn't even buy warm beer on a Sunday, the only day I had off, the whole time I was there. :( :(

I think she may have gone berserk, berzerk or possibly even beserk.   ;D

A ton of bikes around here come with a "tittle".  Is it a misspelling or should I be cautiously hopeful and go check it out?

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.
