This is not constructive. This is a photography forum not a spelling and grammar forum.
Who cars how the guy spells it?
I saw someone spell in "lins" a few days ago and there was an uproar over that spelling that had nothing to do with answering the original question.
I get a little annoyed when I see bad spelling, words used out of context, bad grammar, etc. However, mentioning it is not constructive and is an example of why people frequently announce that this site is not friendly and that they are leaving.
I hope we can get past this.
Maybe for those that really want things spelled right, we could have a spelling section so that people can go there to find out that
it's Canon, not Cannon;
it's Nikon, not Nixon or Nikkon,
it's lens, not lense, but lenses is acceptable
it's lens, not lins, or linz.
At least then if people care, they'll go read this and find out. If they don't care, then pointing out in one of their posts isn't going to make them change. It's going to annoy them and make them want to leave.
