Ordinance vs. Ordnance
How many of you folks knew they were two different words with different meanings?
I confess that I didn’t.

isn't one a law, and the other used to blow up laws..............

I did. As said one is a law and the other is high explosive usually sent by air mail.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out which one does the most damage. Bob

For years I’ve been saying “Para Ordinance”. I’m just a dumb hillbilly.

Jim, half the people here don't know that there's a difference between "your" and "you're".

Used to stand behind the table at a bunch of gun shows.
I was once handed a business card from "Joe's Ordinance" (or something like that) I just smiled and took it.

Worked almost 30 years at a defense plant where the primary product was Naval Ordnance - mostly shipboard mounted rocket launchers and big guns. Ordinance is a law, so yup, knew the difference.

Hey, I catch it when I proof read, if I proof read, well sometimes I proof read two or three days later, maybe.

I am not one of them Rocky.

No, you are not, Sam.
Reading some posts, I am convinced that many errors are to to "speech to text" programs that simply put in the closest word to whatever was said, regardless of context or meaning. If that's not it, then some people must be woefully uneducated.

My spelling corrector doesn't know the difference.
It doesn't know about there, to or we either. But it busts my butt over not capitalizing muslim.

The written word has slowly eroded and chaps my nether regions. Even the national news agencies have declined in their ability to use correct grammar, spelling and descriptive words. It hurts my ears and eyes.

That is a fact. While I make errors i do usually catch them on a future read. News agencies are supposed to have educated reporters, editors, proof readers etc. but man do they write some messed up material. Headline sentence structure not accurately stating the content of the article, subjects, verbs and everything else out of order. I would be embarrassed to publish some of it and call myself a reporter.

Here's another one. Cavalry / calvary. But yeah, text-to-speech for me screws things up.

I find that many of my "disadvantaged" co-workers apparently didn't pay attention in their classes.......they can't spell correctly to save their lives.

Dang. I DID mistype that - and didn't catch it, either.
I do make allowances for typing errors. I'm a two-finger typist myself and understand that. The things that bug me aren't typos, though. They're the result of simple ignorance.

Being ADHD and dyslexic ,I thank g-d everyday for spell checker.I think General Patton had a hard time of it himself. So If that is being a dumbass, I am in good company. 😁

The fact that Patton had dyslexia is supported by his family and documented by both Blumenson and D’Este. That Patton also had ADD will probably remain a matter of conjecture and speculation, although in his public life he exhibited many of the disorder’s behavioral symptoms: his flexibility and willingness to shift strategy, such as the quick deal he cut in Casablanca permitting the formerly Vichy forces to continue governing Morocco under Allied auspices in November 1942; his tirelessness when in pursuit of a tangible goal, as when he took command of the moribund II Corps in Tunisia in February 1943 and rapidly transformed it into a formidable fighting force; his boredom with mundane tasks, expressed in a 1916 letter during the garrisoning of the Mexican town of Dublan when he wrote his father, “We are all rapidly going crazy from lack of occupation and there is no help in sight”; and his startling ability to visualize and make ideas concrete.
