New service offered by a friend of mine

I am having a break from surfing much this week, as I have friends from England staying and we have been visiting some of the local sites of beauty. Sad to see that the Gremlins are still cheating their way to the top (see previous entry).

On a more positive note however, my good friend John is now offering a free spell-checking service for those wanting to post blogs or websites. He and I have always had a good time whilst surfing together, observing some of the more obvious errors in websites and blogs. You can find his log here go visit it and submit your site to his professional scrutiny - do not forget, it is FREE.

One of the things that used to make me laugh most was a hover-surfing site that proudly proclaimed they now had No Click Manuel surfing. I had an immediate vision of an old British sit-com called 'Fawlty Towers' which featured a Spanish waiter called Manuel. Poor Manuel not only did not have to click, he was obviously having to surf 24 hours a day too :) Unfortunately, the traffic exchange that advertised this has now changed its advertising - thus depriving me of a little laugh.

Other things that made me laugh were that I could earn a 'substatial' income, this matrix was 'defently one to join' and how would I like to have an 'eye-earn cling-on'. Bring that last one on for the fans of StarTrek.

More obvious faults were things like 'what could be easier/better then' (than) and fed up of/from, when it should be fed up with.

There are many other examples. Some of them obvious, some not so clear. Some of them are just differences between UK English and US English, as in humour -v- humor, but that is just spelling relating to country differences.

I guess it would be better if things were written properly, but I have to admit that the sites that made me laugh are also the sites whose names I remember, therefore there might be something to be said for making the occasional spelling error in order to be memorable.

If you do not want to be memorable for that reason, and you are not sure about your spelling then I would heartily recommend you contact John on his link above.

I did and he has compeetly fetted this blog and fownd it to be fre of any mistakens.
