Simple spelling errors, not so much. Misuse of words spelled differently, but sounding the same, MUCH.
"Your," and "you're." "Your an idiot" backfires. (It really means, "I'm an idiot.") "You're an idiot," is the proper word.
There, their, and they're do NOT mean the same. Their house is over there, and they're gonna be upset if you...
Sorry for the hijack. Since it is after 3:00 AM, I'm funning, as usual.

You really go out of your way to make friends, don't you, buddy?
Strangely enough, it seems to be a small world here in cyberspace. You have a very distinctive avatar. And I am the architect and lead engineer on a new electronics subsystem for this:

Or, the misspelling of "usage," and "similarly."

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

She's a beauty!! Do a good job, a soldier's life may depend on it. I spent 24 years as a Field Artillery Officer. I've earned the right to be discerning about my friends. I was raised not to suffer fools gladly and 24 years leading troops didn't change that sound advice. Here, I make liberal use of the "Ignore List". Anyone can add me to their "Ignore List", won't bother me a damn bit.
