People can't spell anymore.
Why, I just today noticed one of our very own has a spelling error in his username. Of course, I didn't notice it until he had those flashing iPods under his name.
If you can't guess it, it's ConfusedPigeon.
'Pigeon' is properly spelled Pidgeon.
Anyway. Any important documents you've come across that have misspelled wordzz, post them in here.
Rant and rave here about the various spelling mistakes your peers make.
Be sure to always use the spell check when posting in here, otherwise, we'll make fun of you for ranting about spelling, when you can't even spell.
ALSO. I haven't used the SpellCheck function, so feel free to notice any spelling mistakes I might have made.[/color10b866efc6]

I would like to rant and rave about the moron who makes a post about a users name and is actually wrong themself. Pidgeon is not a word. It is spelled pigeon. So next time you feel the need to post something, at least make sure you have the fucking sense not to make yourself sound like a complete moron.

Unless you meant that his username has to do with a method of magnesium metal production, and he is just confused about the process, then yes you are right, and it's spelled wrong. wink

Too lazy, but if you saw a few posts above me, you'd see the Merriam-Webster dictionary online also saying it doesn't exist.

Pidgeon is a word, it just doesn't mean a small creature with wings and a penchant for shitting on your car.

Merriam Webster is dead. Why do you believe what a dead person says?

[quoted21373a972="EatChex89"]no no. Just keep looking. It's in there.[/quoted21373a972]
Hmm, I'm not sure where else to look, it's not in the there, at least the Merriam-Webster dictionary. It may have been started by a dead person, but it is still used and updated today. Many things that are written by dead people are believed today. For example, the US Constitution is still believed and updated today. Interestingly enough, however, Wikipedia redirects both spellings to the Dove article. shrug
Spelling errors don't annoy me as much as people who don't use proper grammar including commas and periods.
If you look at all of your posts, EatChex89, you'll notice you're a victim of this. wink

I couldn't help but notice that there is no Pidgeon in the whole Dove article that it redirects to (besides the redirect phrase). D

Spelling mistakes that get on my tits are
THEN when they mean THAN.
ORIENTED when it's ORIENTATED (this is more of a personal preference though).
AN "URB" when it's A HERB.
And a shitload more of British-American differences, but that's just me. shrug

I think this is a message that someone needs to write an article about both Pidgeons and Pigeons..
Because I'm fairly certain that Doves are white.. and Pigeons are grey.

I too was suprised that the article redirect there. Back on topic,
Misspellings don't really annoy me, unless there are to the extremes, such as the language used on IM. Incorrect grammar annoys me more. )
