Cool Dual Duel

Sorry for this but I edit a lot of documents and so I cannot help myself picking up spelling and grammar probs.

The word DUEL is popping up all over the Forum in the wrong context.

"Duel" is a fight using formal rules - like pistol at dawn, 10 paces, turn and fire.

"Dual" is about a linking of two things - like dual carbies.

When your AU has both LPG and petrol you have dual fuel.

(Duel fuel would be like having a few stiff drinks before the stoush begins.)

I do believe that is the case.

I am well aware of the spelling mistake i had created in my thread, but due to only Moderators have the ability to edit ones post, i was unable to fix such a mistake.

Any Moderators who are willing to edit the title of my thread, just to fix this matter, please do so... and thankyou.

Just a quickie (or is that quicky?)...

It may be that some bad spellers are willing to bear whatever disadvantages that bad spelling brings but it may also be that some are not aware of their mistakes and do care.

I'd think that a pm (rather than a forum post) to query their thoughts would be in order?
