You could have used the 'edit' button and we'd have never known. It may sound petty, but I do find it annoying to read through a post that has poor grammar, spelling and syntax. Then there's the whole issue of there/their/they're- don't fuckin' get me started. People who can't differentiate between their/they're/there sound too young to follow simple instructions. Attention to detail is rather important in this hobby.

Right on -- if you cannot make use of the grammar skills commonly learned in elementary school, how can you possibly expect to take on a project, even one as simple as the PF Tek? It drives me crazy when I see people that either don't care or are ignorant about the correct usage of homonyms.

StS:
i believe the proliferation of the misspelling of aborts as abhorts is due, in lagre part, to the occurence of this typo in several popular cultivation guides. though, i could well be wrong.
as far as the use of "abort" in reference to soemthing that stops growing on it's own:
from Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, Deluxe Edition:
2. to develop incompletely; remain in a rudimentary or undeveloped stage.
3. to fail, cease, or stop at an early or premature stage.

When people criticise the spelling of others, they obviously don't have enough to do IMO 
In a Mushroom Cultivation forum, you expect to receive information pertaining to the cultivation of mushrooms. Not an English lesson.

that's the thing about lessons, you don't have to take them. as long as advise and help are free to give, i'm glad there are those around here who are willing to give them.

This is slightly off topic but I didn't feel like opening a new thread.
Does it bother anyone else when the "Subject" field of a post has nothing to do with the actually post? Things like (not to pick on anybody) "quick question", "yes it is okay...", "Hi my name is....", "question asap" or "GOD! let ME TRIPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'm nobody.
BTW - I agree with anon poor spelling, grammar and punctuation definitely detracts from a post's credibility.
Edit: Spelling error. Kind of ironic, isn't it? I just wish the UBB spell checker worked in my bowser (Konqueror).

" as long as advise and help are free to give"
The word you should use is "advice", not advise. Advice is a noun, advise is a verb.....

A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling by Mark Twain For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.
Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.
