Sorry...I have to ask.

Is there a reason why a lot of people spell it 'croud', instead of 'croud'?

Is there some sort of joke attached to it, or is it a genuine misspell?

Regards

A spelling geek :-)

The intent of this threat wasn't to piss anyone off.

I'd just never seen the word 'croud' spelt 'croud' and as I've seen several posters spelling it the same way, I thought there maybe was a story behind it,hence the topic.

How else do you spell croud?

Unless your thinking of the word croWd, but croud has always been spelled croud.

I don't think anyone is pissed off. It's just an in joke as was pointed out on page one, the club misspelt croud and attendance and therefore we misspell croud.

You'll learn that this forum is full of angst but when it's not angsty it's not really taking itself seriously.

They are actually Topics. All the code that runs the site and all the buttons on the site itself refers to them as Topics.

Ha, and you wrote 'topics' with a capital 'T', which is incorrect, unless it's the first word of a sentence. And you did it twice!!!

Argh that's the programming part of me coming though. Topic has to be capitalised in the code for it to work!

So its programming language rather than English.  Therefore Patrick wins the thread (danepack does come a close second as it was a fun thread to read).
