Who needs spellcheck?

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I'm wdgtieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh, and I awlyas toughht slpeling was ipmorantt!

Besides, we have products that look like they should read UMM! TOE JELLY, Kuiet, Oral Thrills, Teal, Aireal, Say Wha, etc. Actually, it may be more audiophoolish to ban Spellcheck.

What other products come to mind?

Papertrail,

You actually bumped into another human brain "thingy" accidentally too. Now, this is with humor.....the human ability to not read...skip...not listen...skip. Leads to lots of misunderstandings. Har har

I'm really disappointed that nobody has responded to what I find great humor in. The naming of high end audio components. Some really respected gear is so absurdly named that I would never consider owning them.

Lugnut, go back and read my post of 4-7, if you havn't already. And yes as they say, "I eased off a brain fart". But I still maintain that the spell gimmick only works under controlled situations.

I didn't mean to offend. Really. I just find the human brain to be a mysterious and funny organ. I guess I could beg for some examples about equipment names but I won't. I'm still not buying anything that reminds me of toe jelly. Please, no offense intended to those that own the AH products.

Hey fellas, for a guy like me that routinely purposely reads things backwards or pronounces everything I see phonetically, Lugnut's discovery is like sweetened slop for the hog.

Lugnut, i may be being presumptious, but absolutely no offense was taken...and as a teacher of literature and a student of languange, I find the human brain and its capacity for understanding and misunderstanding to be fascinating. Would "toejam" or toemarmelade" have a more positive conotation than "toejelly"? :)
