I think Two Tone White is trying to help us improve our grammar.

 

 

Now what about cheap vs. inexpensive?

[dynodon]

Weather correct or knot, you should allways use the wright words!

 

(Just throwing gas on the flame of the uber word user!)

 

(note, I don't know how to get those double dots above the U that would make it correct!)

 

NOT a flame, just going with the flow. Enjoyed the cheap-cheep post.

 

Peace and happy riding

Ah...let's see.. Two Tone has been taking so much flack, kidding around, and questionable retorts that he's resorted to using the very obnoxious giant head.. to give everyone who's responded a big giant razzzzzzzberry.. There does that help???

Condor, you crack me up. I enjoy reading your responses.

 

For everyone else, who "doesn't get it; Huh; and the point is; and am I missing something here..." - here's the deal: I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the English language and thought that something inexpensive might be called CHEAP, but I observed all sorts of stuff for sale on this board which was described as CHEEP and people using the word CHEEP when describing how things were made. So, not knowing everything - I looked it up figuring I was missing an alternative spelling. Once I found the answers, I thought I'd share. You're welcome. Oh, and also to the guys who have the problems spelling... not sure about your computer but mine give me a red line under a questionable word so I can take a second look at it before I hit send.

 

Now with respect to the big giant head, I always wondered what it should be used for so I thought "what the hell" let me be dangerous and give it a shot. A CHEEP shot.

 

And lastly, what you described as flack really doesn't bother me at all. It's only a computer you know. I'm thinking there are bigger worries in the world than chat room banter.

 

Here's a little head for you since the big giant one was apparently over the top:

 

 

Ride safe.
