azda Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I wonder if he realises that his Web address has a spelling mistake in it. I'll leave it to Peck to chastise him for it Quote

TomGoodheart Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 fraid I didn't see anyting of interest on the site you linked to Joe. Did you have something about coins you wanted to discuss? Quote

paulfrasercollectibles Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Hi guys, Sorry about that, was in a bit of a rush and posted the wrong link. As for the spelling mistake, I'm a writer, of course it was deliberate!It's due to the fact that we have a lot of American readers and they spell it differently. So I would thank you not to send silly emails to the newsdesk, or you may end up being laughed at. If you would like me not to post content to the forum, please say so and I won't. However, I thought it would be of interest as you are British coin collectors, saves you fishing around for news all day. Thanks. Joe Quote

JoeContent is fine - we probably thought it was just spam (looking at the original link), but if you have links to coin auctions online that you think we might be interested in, please go ahead.As a P.S., the general American ignorance that there is an alternative way of spelling English - as used by the rest of the planet, and present company excepted of course - is fairly mind boggling. After all, we Brits know pretty much all the American English variants, so why shouldn't they know ours? Rant over. Quote
ski Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 i get most of the auction houses catalogues, either by snail mail or download from websites......i wonder if im typical of most here?.......but the more news the better, so yea keep posting Paul theres great banter here when something funny comes along and if you read many of the posts, theres usually a remark regarding daves spelling, but thank you for clarifying........we now know that dave is in fact a pseudo yank and not jockinese after all forgive me dave......i couldnt resist.

azda Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Sorry Ski its the German/english and so on. Still a scotsman though. BTW Joe, Peckris offers free English grammer lessons, stick around and you'll learn the proper English Edited September 5, 2012 by azda Quote
ski Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) once a scot always a scot, taffy tommy paddy etc etc......good, .......okays here the wiki quote.Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first for the adjective by the Oxford English Dictionary and is standard spelling in British English, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid and this has come to be the common spelling in the United States.so just proves these colonials dont speak proper english like wot we does.

But perhaps it's a while since you were in Glasgow??? <-- Frage Zeichnen, ja? Quote

azda Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 That was entirely for you Peck, checking if you were alert Quote
Peckris Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 That was entirely for you Peck, checking if you were alert Oh of course. I'm sure we can both agree though, that if it HAD been an inadvertent typo, it was a gloriously funny one! Quote
