We are some of the worst spellers on the internet!One mispelled sailing related word every 3posts Guarenteed!

Thanks for doing your part!

R U phuking with us?

nuttin wrong with that.

Bad spelling is an indication of rebellion against authority and the establishment. So it kind of makes sense that there would be a high percentage of catamaran sailors who are bad spellers.

It's not just us, I'm afraid.
My local high school had on its sign out front "Spring Brake April 12-17".

Kids are taught spelling doesn't matter as long as the idea gets across.

Don't be so vexxed out mon, We be just fine.

De fun is de mongo point.

Just so you know, some big wind be jammin' your way,..it is time to be ready..... or go bush.

( Hurricane Dennis is coming, if you do not prepare, all your stuff will blow away and you will never find it. It is Thursday, and here in Tampa, no one is doing any preparation, and I see no hurricane shutters on these windows. The storm will be offshore Saturday. I pray these homeowners know that their windows are rated to blow out at 50 mph.)

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

HA! Thats funny!

My, thats an impressive spew of literary genious. And to think we have these nice computers to promote our intelectual prowess. Too bad it doesen't help our sailing ability.

Good point, Bruce. Most people think that since their windows are built "to code", that they're protected. Unfortunately, in Florida, most "code" windows are rated for WIND strength only, NOT IMPACT. So, unless you think the hurricane will not pick up any objects and hurl them at your glass, I'd consider storm shutters. Impact glass is much more expensive.

Redneck window test:
- Throw a brick at the window. If it breaks, it's not impact resistant.

- Next, Swing a hammer as hard as you can at it. If it breaks, it's not impact resistant.

If it does NOT break after these tests, you can practice your target shooting indoors.


Your insurance company will probably cancel you when they find out you don't have shutters, anyway....

I think we have a winner .............Deq 204 .And here is some stuff for the Cruzan import. 1.We have a verbal agreement in writing. 2.Sears is a "Apartement Store"! 3. I've been quoted out of text often". 4.I never forget things ,I just can't remember them when I want to. 5. My coffee is downstairs waiting for me to cool off. 6.Turn a blind ear. 7.She called me every half hour on the hour. 8.If you really want to see Abaco, you'll have to "circumsize" the island ! Nothing to do with spelling ,just funny that where I'm from a lot of people would not think anything wrong with this.........Oh, and here in Delray we pay "Anti-Hurricane Tax" so we don't need windows......Bob G. ......This was from an article in Southern Boating/May 2005 .

But you stole the poem from Captain Noah Tall.

Using the nice translators the above poem was translated into spanish then to french then to german and back to english then to portugese and back to english. and the results are this:

The eye starts in the both chequer of the spelling that came with my sea of four they who the pea it lined up which horizontally, you mark my sea of kinships of the knot the eye of the edges of Srta. revision. The impact of the eye a key and types a word and two that the false helm of weight four of the eye of the time of the opinion writes shown to it in straits one sorrow with me. * a time in this the pain of the mist to raise, the length von of bee two of the nose to transmit and the rite of the eye to disturb to place rare to be always false lira of the capable centers. * the eye the poem to work, it it stops emitting, that I afío its two contentments no perfect healthy letter of Ahle, that it cause pain, that to chequer to affect me mine, for sew.

Inspiring and thought provoking

Diskualifyd !!!!

Too late, Bob. All the scoring programs would have to change the DSQ to DSK.

Sounds great to me, disqualified is spelled "diskvalifisert" (DSK) in norwegian. Perhaps you are mutating your language to something more fluent and harmonous like norwegian

In the old days, boys who did badly in school, had no future in respectable carreers. There only alternative was to become pirates. Since in those days pirates were all sailors, and pirates ain't to good of spellers, heck, they can't even talk no good grammer. That being, sailors don't spell good but don't need to write anyway. Since sailing is based on long tradition, sailors today still don't spell good. But, why we drink beer now, insted of rum?

Down ear wease all do drink rum, in some places in Queensland (now that is a good name for the sailors there - queens from Queensland) if you dont drink "Bundy rum" you dont get served!
