    But there are two os in loose.

    If we're having a misspelling rant thread...

    How come bikers who go to race meetings never read the signs?

    It's Manfeild, not Manfield
    It's Teretonga, not Terotonga


    How come bikers who buy tyres never read the labels?

    It's Metzeler, not Metzler
    It's Michelin, not Mitchelin
    It's Pirelli, not Pirreli

    And at least some manufacturers like BMW and KTM had the aforethought to go for a TLA rather than a word that could be misspelled.

    It's Aprilia, not Aprila or Aprillia


    Oh for fuck's sake Hitcher, go to bed...

    There's one 'o' in lose.

    And there are two 'o's in loose.

    What's going on?

    I think Miss Spelling would say she's not common.

    (The rest of the world would say, "Thank goodness.")

    Positive. http://www.teretonga.org.nz/

    Alpinestars is one word, not two.
    Kiwi Biker is two words, not one.
