Other Manufacturers heading has been spelt wrong
Posted by whizkidd
Its written other manufactures. But thats OK imo.
Posted by Ayush
But the spelling is wrong! The correct is manufacturers not manufactures!
Posted by whizkidd
But manufactures is right too i guess. Eg. "My phone is of Nokia manufacture" or "woollen manufacture" correct if wrong.
Posted by Ayush
Yes manufacture correct but other manufacturES wrong! This is right: Nokia manufactures my phone. But "Nokia is one of other manufacturES is wrong imo

I think the word we need is... pedant ;-)

Huh?

A Pedant is a person who insists on strict adherence to formal rules or literal meaning at the expense of a wider view. Or a person who rates academic or technical knowledge above everything. (From the Oxford dictionary)

@whizz - Indeed. Sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees. I think it's more important that a post is understood rather than technically correct. Of course, correct spelling and grammar may aid in that understanding.
