I’ve a _briliant_ plan to reduce load on the servers. If everyone includes a _dilberate_ mistake or two, then a few real mistakes won’t have to have ‘:smack:’ or ‘did you mean…’ posts!
However if you make sure you make mostly unlikely spelling mistakes, consistent real mistakes can be spotted and corrected.
Maybe this should be in ATMB, but I don’t think it’ll become official policy…

That’s pretty inovvative idea… But won’t this thread need a topic, of some kind, for people to discuss, whilst spelling badly?

My spelling is so good that I dout I could bring myself to include an intentional error.

Actually, I just realised some people have already; my bright idea was telling people, not just making mistakes.
Some people seem to go even further than coding errors, and include a _factual_ error in each post 🙂

Could the mistake be, that there is no mistake? Or have I been wooshed? Now, we’re getting really metaphysical. A mistake because there was no mistake. Round and round we go…
Oh and **jjimm** … there’s a msitake in your user name.
