Sorry about that, I'll let the correct user know. --Ben41 23:04, 31 August 2011 (CDT)

Spelling corrections

Proofreading is fine and good, just be wary of relying on a spellchecker too much for jargon and technical language. MS Spellcheck doesn't know "forend" is a correct spelling for part of a gun, for example, and will switch it to "fore-end" which is wrong. Evil Tim 19:31, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

Same with "reticle." Reticule is actually a less common version, but for some reason you won't find a spellchecker that knows "reticle." Evil Tim 07:02, 23 November 2011 (CST)

A minor note; much as it's irrational, fixing people's spellings on talk pages can rub some users the wrong way and isn't really a good idea. Evil Tim 22:27, 6 December 2011 (CST)

Same thoughts I had. About spell-checking the talk page being a bad idea, that is. --Masterius 04:58, 7 December 2011 (CST)

Sorry, I will try to be more judicious with my spelling corrections. I don't want to step on any toes.

However it is a Wiki site and anyone can do edits. So don't worry too much about it. I, for example, will just reverse a change if I don't agree with it. Don't sweat the small stuff. --Jcordell 15:21, 4 January 2012 (CST)

Arcadia of My Youth corrections

It's spelled "Messerschmitt", not "Messerschmidt", regardless of what the spellchecker tells you. Please make sure that when you change the name of something that you're not screwing it up, especially when whoever made the page went through the trouble of researching such things. I myself have no issue with someone fixing spelling and grammatical errors on pages that I've made, but mucking up the information is a whole 'nother ball of wax.--PistolJunkie 14:39, 13 December 2011 (CST)

Regarding the Re: Cutie Honey page; once again, you screwed up a legitimate part of a page without checking to make sure you're correct. When it says "Ai-System", it's a pun on "A.I." using "Ai", the Romanized word for "love". I don't mind if you're just correcting errors, but stop screwing up pages when I've made it a point to get details right.--PistolJunkie 14:59, 14 March 2012 (CDT)

I'm sorry I screwed up the page through an unnecessary correction. You are right that I should have checked to make sure that it was an error and not a purposeful misspelling. Thank you for telling me about my error. I will check my corrections thoroughly from now on. --Cheywoodward2 19:09, 15 March 2012 (CDT)

CSI pages

Hey man, I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you just did on the CSI pages. I did realize just how many typos I had! --Zackmann08 19:58, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

No problem! I enjoy making spelling corrections more than I should, so thank you for giving me the opportunity to make some. Also, I've found that it's much easier to see typos in someone else's work than your own, I don't proofread my own writing as well as I proofread the stuff on here --Cheywoodward2 20:41, 16 March 2012 (CDT)

One thing tho buddy, when you respond to someone's comment on your talk page, you need to respond on THEIR page, not your own. People rarely check to see if you responded here. :-) --Zackmann08 12:40, 17 March 2012 (CDT)

FlaK

When used to refer to German antiaircraft guns, "Flak" is not strictly correct. It stands for "Flugzeugabwehr-Kanone" and is usually written with the K capitalised in decent references. Evil Tim 16:18, 8 April 2012 (CDT)
