Answers on a postcard please, first correct answer wins an all expenses paid trip to the Windoze 2010 Expo in Pyongyang, with all the coffee you can drink...!

With apologies to the webboard guidelines, but I've seen this problem on every board and it's starting to really bug me. It is spelled "poll" not "pole." If you really want to pole someone, grab a thick piece of wood and smack them with it.

I was beginning to think that this is an intentional misspelling.

One would think so, seeing as many webboard member use such a spelling. I chalk it up to immaturity and have taken it upon myself to teach the community how to spell.*

It is an intentional misspelling!
A vain attempt at humour on my part, but then a joke, however misguided is pointless if it needs to be explained, as the arising of such a need indicates that the joke has failed entirely. Snuffed at birth one may say, though one might chose not to do so.

I am anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous at the thought of having caused you any discombobulations by deliberately misspelling the word "poll" as "pole" in an echo of frequent past misspellings, and in an effort to promote humour, however infantile this attempt may appear to be in your view. I will hazard a responsive remark along the lines of your post by going so far as to suggest that your response is at least as puerile as my act of making the original posting...

... but then, isn't that what "Trash Talk" is for? Posting silly things.
by all means, correct me if I'm mistaken. Then you can lighten up a little Posted Image

Car that isn't a Porsche, Lambourgini, Ferrari, Mclaren, or Lotus: Toyota Supra

Non-Foreign: 1967 Chevy Camaro or a 63 Stingray Vette with the two windowed back.

Ah, you need to learn Finnish, one uses "hän" for "he, she, it". Very useful. In this instance though "he" is accurate. Don't forget the rank though Posted Image

On the topic: we have 2 Ausin Healy Sprites in our garage. One has some problem, the other was not started for about 20 years before we got it Posted Image needless to say, it needs fixing.
