Okay, here comes the Spelling Sheriff! You knew what he meant anyway. He must not have Spellcheck!

But then like Dave says, spellcheck has sometimes now made us worse spellers and I figured this might be the case.

Well, I have to admit I've changed my spelling of "through" to "thru" as most people do now. I even use texting slang like IMHO and LOL. I have even had to educate my spellcheck to recognize "crankshaft" as one word.

Oh man... I have three Daughters and three of the older Grandkids who have been into texting slang and acronyms for many years now. It drives them crazy that I will not conform to the new language even though I understand it fine. They do it to save a few seconds, but then I turn around, tell them I didn't understand, and make them explain what they are trying to say in proper english. Then I tell them "You know... If you had just typed in English the first time we wouldn't still be texting and you could have saved a lot of time not having to explain it to me." lmao!

It has happened to me too, so don't take it as anything more than me finding humor in this specific typo.
I also get a chuckle when someone says they have a 99' Cherokee. How the hell do you park that thing?
I'm easily amused.

Know what? I think you are on to something there... Using leeks instead of onion in Pico De Gallo is not a bad idea at all! Sometimes It is hard to keep the onions from over powering the other flavors, leek is much milder and would probably be a much better combination. Never considered this option, thank you!
