The original reply of mine that started the whole “spelling” chain of errors wasn’t meant as a spelling nazi post. All I was trying to say was that I had an amusing mental picture after thinking about surfer dudes appearing before the king.

Then I went and misspelled it “Cerf” and now I am picturing Vince Cerf, the “father of the internet” (The other one, not algore) standing before the king trying to explain HTML.

Oh - I’m sorry I thought you were the original miss-speller. I try to spell correctly - and I do notice when others don’t. BUT - seeing those signs from the ranch puts spelling errors into perspective.

I have just begun to read a book about the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In the forward it warns that Lewis’ spelling and grammar isn’t the best - but he moves the story along well. I guess!

And yes - I had the same chuckle at the image of a couple of surfer dudes in front of the King. (Come to think of it - I think there WAS a goofy comedy along those lines with time-travel, etc.)
