Baja spellcheck as bit of a waste of time, to me
communication is just getting the point made, mispelled/misprounced or not, we all know what is
being referenced. Puerticitos may hold the record
spellchecks

When doing a search online or just historical accuracy or just out of respect for the place we love, try to get it spelled correct. Some of the worse
case Baja places with some of the incorrect spellings:
PUERTECITOS (not Puertocitos, Puerticitos)
GUERRERO NEGRO (not Guerro Negro)
SAN FRANCISQUITO (not ???)
SANTA ROSALILLITA (not Santa Rosaliita)
ALFONSINA'S (not Alphonsina's)
LOS BARRILES (not Los or Las Barilles)
MULEGE (not Muleje)
LORETO (not Loretto)
LA PURISIMA (not La Purisma)
ROSARITO (not Rosarita)
SANTO TOMAS (not Santo Thomas)
SAN VICENTE (not San Vincente)
SAN QUINTIN (not San Quentin)
TIJUANA (not Tiajuana)
MEXICALI (not Mexicalli)
ENSENADA (not Encinada)
SAN FELIPE (not San Filippi, etc.)
FELIX AÑO NUEVO/ HAPPY NEW YEAR

In this day and age you don't need to know how to spell. Just look at a text messege and tell me the "King's English" is alive and well, never mind
which order the letters are in, or does the letter arrangement change the meaning of the whole thing?

Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Words matter. Spelling matters. Grammar matters. There were millions of times down through the peopling of the planet where the wrong words could get
you killed on sight. Communications matters. There are still places where just wearing the wrong color clothing can get you killed. Civilization uses
one's communication skills as a test for leadership and or advancement.
As a prescriptive I guess you see me as a language snob and that pleases me more and more as some of you want to drag forum chat down to knowing
grunts.

Well said, Osprey---------I make spelling mistakes all the time, but I have never minded being corrected, and in fact encourage it.

To all of those Osprey grunters here, if you are unsure of a word's spelling, minimize BN, Google the word, get the correct spelling, restore BN, and
enter the word. Takes a second and helps your image.

I agree Osprey... this post was created purely for entertainment purposes.

I did what you said, Vandenberg, putting the word "puertecitos" in Google for spelling--------it immediately took me to "Baja Nomads" board.

Yes, I agree. I appreciate spelling help on words pertaining to Baja locations-features such as cities, roads, parks, etc. I have objected in the past
when a spelling error (we all make them) made during a serious question takes on a life of its own at the expense of the question.
