I just think it's ironically funny that you have a spell check feature yet there are so many misspellings on this site. A website is like any form of communication; clarity and accuracy are important in order to effectively get your message across.
For example, in the News Header on the Home Page there are three words misspelled:
Freinds Enimies Relesed
You guys are doing this on purpose, right? It's a gag? Tell me you're fooling....
If you are interested in driving membership and traffic I would think you'd want to demonstrate that you have a quality product. Simple things like misspelling words is at best careless, at worst ignorant.
Why would anyone trust your opinion on entry points or campsites if you can't even correctly spell the word 'friend'?
By the way, I used the spell check feature for this post. The only words that the feature identified as misspelled were the three you've misspelled elsewhere, and my username, which is intentional.
Just my opinion.

I see the header has been updated. Nice job. Hope I didn't come across as a knob. But misspellings drive me crazy. As if you couldn't tell.

Dear qman,
I think you must of pissed off someone with your comment: "If you are interested in driving membership and traffic I would think you'd want to demonstrate that you have a quality product. Simple things like misspelling words is at best careless, at worst ignorant. Why would anyone trust your opinion on entry points or campsites if you can't even correctly spell the word 'friend'?"
Your post today did a lot to heal that! ;D Some of the admins put in a lot of work on this thing and this is a volunteer thing....no one gets a cent out of this. I think those comments have been removed, and I hope you enjoy the site and become a regular contributer. Sorry for the problems, I hope they have been ironed out.
Your Canoing Buddy, fishguts

I must agree with Gman those typo's are very important to keep cleaned up. I usually do most of my typing for a post in Word. Just use to it I guess, I like how Word picks up on inappropriate sentences. Sometimes I have a tough time posting on my iPhone but it sure is nice to check in during the day. qp
