It's spelled: P-E-L-O-T-O-N

Can we include 'peddle' in this mess??

Then there is break and brake. I do not know about you guys, but I do not want a bike with a break lever.

That's what made possible the hurricane of Steakgate puns.

It's the European Union Ska Telecommunications company.

I could have sworn I saw a guy in their team car that looked just like Dave Wakeling...

 

[MacRoadie]

And let's not forget the rather large contingent who should completely avoid "derailleur" and simply stick with "gears"...

 

[Semper Fidelis]

wat?

I don't "knot" "NO" why "your" guys are crying "SOW" much. You have to "SEA" the bigger picture there are "LOOSERS" and "WIENERS" with this spelling stuff. U just have to "NO" "THERE" games.

PELE a TON.

Glen!!!!!

I knew you wouldn't let me down. Like a moth to my flame.

Now if I can just get WonderLance to respond, this thread will be complete!

Or when riders go into the brakeaway

In fact Nicholas Roche even wrote on Twitter that he'd try getting into a brake (or something like that) and unlike other riders he doesn't really have the English isn't his first language excuse.

Well, it possibly isn't: His mother is French, and he grew up in France - the first language he learned may well have been French, not English.
But with receiving education on a school in Dublin, this still shouldn't happen.

Yeh, but that's because after 12,00 posts you still think it is OK to write, 'of' instead of have or 've - e.g. 'should of', 'could of', 'would of' etc etc. Being overly pedantic can be a pain especially on an Internet forum, but sometimes it just has to be said... and please don't take this as a personal attack!!

And yeh, I'm only 12,594 posts behind you. I've got to admire that level of dedication and stamina.

I am glad you have picked up on that. Your mummy must be very proud.

Oh, she was, trust me - but that was very many many years ago.

Mind you having now been married to a primary school teacher for many years there is NO WAY I'd be allowed to say 'of' instead of have, use less when it should be fewer, or say 'he was sat' when it should be he was sitting. Standards my boy!

 

[craig1985]

Or 'loose' instead of 'lose'.

 

[ElChingon]

Also, "Attacking" should not be used for "Standing on the bike".

However, for some odd reason "PELOTON" sets off my spell checker, that's why I get confused. Is it because it's not an English word?

Isn't it French for "le pack"?

Just right click it and then "add to dictionary" I have to do it all the time for Spanish and French words

Well thank you, works for me!

If someone can solve the you're/your problem that plagues the English-speaking world I'd be pretty freaking excited.

I would advise people not to visit China.

I saw a sign that read:

"Unredicuble" (sic) for items not to be recycled, and for items that can be recycled it read "recyclable". Libertine scolds ACF for butchering the German language, so by the logic LS would have nightmares in China with all the spelling and grammar mistakes.

 

[Martin318is]

well.... yesterday on Twitter, Chris Boardman called it "pelAton"... always said he wasn't a real cyclist.... LOL

That must be the british spelling. Those guys spell everything weird.

That is not as bad as japanese CDs labeled "Eric Crapton."

YOUR crazy.

Based on what I've seen here, their is no way there ever going to improve they're spelling.
