Have to agree with you. However, I don't lose sleep over it. What's more troubling to me is this: is it a product of a lazy generation or a poor educational system? But we also must look at ourselves? How many on here use "prolly" instead of "probably"? But I digress. I don't own a Cummins, I can spell "Ford", "GMC", "Chevrolet", etc., but let's get on to something VERY important. What's the correct pronunciation of "Porsche"? :B
x3 Not that I lose alot of sleep over misspelling, but it can be somewhat irritating. Not so much with Cummins vs Cummings but when people don't even know which way to spell break (or brake), or similar things, it detracts from their post. Not as bad as people who write run on sentences with no pronunciation.
I've gone back and corrected posts I've made with misspellings, because I don't like it when it happens to me.
