So what, there is no entry in the dictionary for aborts as a noun that has anything with shrooms or anything that have stopped growing. I have always seen abhorts used on most of the oldest shroom places so that's what they are. It even sounds better.

And I'm surprised no one argued that pearlite is listed as an acceptable alternate spelling in some dictionaries.

Uhh, pearlite is a component of steel. Perlite is volcanic glass. They are not alternate spellings - they are different things.

By the way, words become words because they get introduced, get used, and become recognized. Use abhort all you wish. Perhaps it will one day be a recognized english word, coined by mycologists who began to favor it. As of now, however, it is unofficial.

'Mould' is an acceptable form of 'mold' but spelling shouldn't be the biggest concern here.

'I pasteurized my poo in the microwave at high for 5 minutes' is just as wrong as 'I pasterurised my poo in the microwave at high for 5 minutes.'

it's be nice if there was a spell check option. I'm so used to seing words misspelled online, it's hard to remember how to spell them.

First off all there is a spell check option "Check spelling" right next to "Continue." But it looks like you need more then a spell check, it took me three time over to understand if you were saying it would BE nice or it IS nice.

ummm.. its common cultivation-related misspelled words. I really dont know why its in here. Probably cuz this is the board most read and Anno felt it was necessary for everyone to know. After all he is an admin, he can do as he pleases, he contributes more daily then you will in a life time.

Uhhhhhhhhh...According to the American Heritage dictionary, they are used interchangeably. There is a second definition of "pearlite" which describes it as a variation of "perlite". Under "perlite", "pearlite" is a variation in spelling. Just to clear that up.

:grin:

Over and over, some of the terms used in the discussion of mushroom cultivation are misspelled, badly.
This is a list of some of these words, and their correct spelling.

Think about the origin of the word, think about what it means.
Are they "abhorts", because they are abhorred(=strongly disliked, despised), or are they "aborts", because they cease to grow, they abort their development at some stage?
Think about it.

> It even sounds better
That of course is a valid reason to spell it abhorts. :wink:

I prefer directions from literate posters.

"Abhorts" is a combination of "abhorrent cohorts"  :grin:

Anno - misspelled is not even a word. ANd how about grammer as well - 'Both is possible' should be 'both ARE possible. Pot calling the kettle black??

Well for all that haven't noticed there is a little button called "check spelling" when you post things. I'll give you a 3 guesses what it does. Anyone? other then that spelling errors don't bother me
