[aldaa]

Pretty sure I saw ibanez called “ibeanz” once.

 

[Tomusk]

Quite instead of quiet. One of my biggest pet peeves!

 

[blastoff]

oooh the one that really gets me- not bass related, but its a legitimate pet peeve- when im looking for camera gear and people are selling a Lense. or they're reviewing this nikon Lense. or they'd like to buy my Lense. ITS LENS PEOPLE !!!
L E N S. no E. unless theres two. then its lenses. phew i feel better now

 

[MeLikeBass]

semi-related: a guy i know calls the truss rod a thrush rod and nobody corrects him

Ive heard some refer to it as the trust rod as well

Like many of you, I regularly browse local classifieds for bass junk. Lately I have been noticing some wonderful mistakes in the way people are spelling company names I'm sure auto correct is to blame for some but but they all make me chuckle:

Ampeq
Carlos Robelli
Lying by Washburn
Llamaha instead of Yamaha (I assume the seller is Spanish speaking)
Yamaham (my personal favorite)
Carving instead of carvin
And of course, base instead of bass

What are some of gems you have seen?

The base instead of bass drives me nuts. Another one is branew instead of brand new. Illiteracy seems to be very prevalent.

 

[Thumpin6string]

I also see a ton of car ads stating something about the front or rear bumber instead of bumper.

Is this irony, considering the context, or something u.s. English idiomatic? Is it supposed to say I should have?
