If that's how you respond to a typo, for your sake I'm glad that no one ever posts inaccurate information on bigsoccer
Re: Re: U.S. U-20's (w/ Magee, Clark) vs. Columbia U-20's [R] You'd be right if he was correcting a typo. Everyone makes typographical errors and these errors don't mean that the person making them doesn't know how to spell. This, by the way, is the main reason why correcting spelling is so harshly dealt with on USENET. Web boards like Big Soccer have inherited the attitude to one degree or another. Generally speaking though, people misspell "Colombia" because they are either ignorant of the correct spelling, or just don't pay attention to detail. Correcting this sort of error can serve several purposes, all of them useful. First, something is learned: You now knows how to spell "Colombia." You may now type without ever again having to worry that this particular spelling mistake will make you look parochial. You have also learned the name of a city in South Carolina and a University in New York, but we don't have any proof that you didn't already know these things. Second, Fkesoccer's post gives us a filtering tool. From this point on, anyone who has contributed to this thread and continues to misspell Colombia can be seen either as learning disabled or as too stubborn to change. In either case this is something interesting to know about folks with whom you interact. Finally, correcting obvious and ubiquitous mistakes ("Colombia" is probably spelled wrong more often than it is spelled right on this board), we set our guard against accepting incrementally less correct grammar and spelling as time goes on. There are message boards out there where the typical response to just about any statement devolved to "u r so gay!!1" I think we all would like to avoid that here. Thank you and good night. C in SJ
