How many people do you know that can not spell?

Most people call Shindaiwa, shinnys, but who really cares what we call any of them as long as we understand what they are talking about. Even General Motors has heard people calling a Chevrolet a Chevy for so long, that they even call them Chevys. Calling a Husqvarna a Husky is perfectly accectable in my book.

Why is the place in sweden spelled Huskvarna, while the company is Husqvarna?

My drunken neighbor calls his a "shoogy woogy." The last time I saw him using it, he was jamming it into the mud to dig out a busted fence post and complaining that it doesn't cut for crap.

People who concentrate on grammar are anal retentive aholes!

For what it's worth, the question mark should be within the closing parenthesis. Also, your last "sentence" is a fragment, having no verb.

For what it's worth, those are quotation marks, not parentheses. I was not quoting a question, I was asking one, thus the question mark goes outside the quotations, not inside.

The final statement was a exclamation, it was not meant to be a sentence.

Finally, I don't concentrate on grammar, but I sure know when someone's post is gibberish. There is a "literacy clause" written into a forum I stumbled across of late that, paraphrased, states "if you write like you're an idiot, people will assume you are an idiot. We don't want idiots here, so go away". I sort of like that approach. If a post takes more than two read-throughs, I tend to skip it altogether.

Seems just about every person that walks in the shop with a Husqvarna they always call them a Huskavanna or a Huskavarna. Happens all the time.

I call them a Husk varna using the American K verses the Swedish Q..hehe

Stihl, Steel, Steal or Still its still Stihl,LOL

There are no parentheses in the post you referred to.

People who call people anal retentive a$$holes and can't even grasp the fundamentals of the English language have no room to speak.
