That's one of the things that always confuses me. SIMPEL is actually the dutch spelling for the word... We have a lot of similar words, only the spelling is different.

Cliff,I see you changed Simpel in the menu, are you going to change it in the rest of the text
This is particularly useful if you found a thread using Something just doesn't seem right in there to me,but I'm not that up on grammar either.
According to my spell check in Works This is spelled wrong.
Therefor PFFCD has its own bookmark. should be spelled Therefore
Also, in the instructions for adding a seperator for bookmarks, in one sample window stopping is spelled incorrectly. The sentence reads stoping a Temp Guage from pegging I also just realized that gauge is misspelled on the whole page.
A: If PFFCD has difficulties detecting wether should be Whether
I hope I didn't pick it apart too badly Cliff, it looks awesome though, I can't wait to have one in my hand Should be spelled Therefore

About the "stoping" thing, I noticed that too but these are real examples from the database. So the original thread has a mispelled title. I was wondering if people would notice that - I guess I now the answer now...
Concerning therefor/therefore, you are right - it should be therefore. It's quit confusing since "therefor" without an e is a correct word also, but used in different sentences:
He collected payments therefor. He did some work, therefore I think he got paid.

Isn't "seperator" supposed to be separator.
Drilled into me in elementary school there is "a rat" in separate.

87ECO5, that's my keyboard. I have one of those cordless keyboards and it sometimes misses a keystroke. So I now it's know and knot now... wait.. I know now it's not know... errr.. I... well, you get the picture.
Yeah - this keybord has the same keys as a laptop (short travel). The problem with this is that dirt gets stuck easily below a key. Therefore ( ) some keys don't register a keystroke if you don't hit them dead-center (or is it centre?).

Neither. What has happened is that verb tense is mixed betwen present (Is) and past (found). While the second example is more correct, unsing the infinitive (have found), it still sounds clunky. More appropiate would be This is particularly useful when you find a thread... or This would be particularly useful when you have found a thread...
