I think thats the French spelling. Like color and colour. Gray and grey. I say Tomato and you say tomato, patato, patato............

"Colour" is British.  L'orthographe francaise est <couleur>.

Interesting...I wonder how much money sellers miss when the mis-spell words.

I should have been an English teacher instead of a wood shop teacher?

Amtrak is consistently spelled Amtrack on eBay.

For the 2 words shown, Lionel and gauge, the sellers won't "miss much" because buyers are looking under "Lionel" or "O" catagories. It's the word a buyer has to type in that can cause a seller problems. When I search for PRR collectable items, I search PRR, Pennsylvania Railroad, Pennsylvania RR, PA RR, Penna RR, and Pennsy to even hit the ones that ARE spelled correctly.

Reminds me - How is Fastrack spelled? I'm serious. I see it spelled all kinds of ways. I think I have the correct spelling. Or is there no "c".

OK I looked it up.

FasTrack, with a capital "T".

Yup, most people browse instead of search.

The spell checker built into the latest revision of Firefox is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I rarely, if ever, make a spelling error anymore.
