Nothing's spelled wrong on that page ... not even a spell checker will help
with mistakes like that! You'd need a grammar checker. That would have
probably caught it

Funny. Thanks for catching it and sharing.

Ehhht!

I agree it IS funny.

Nonetheless, if you spell a word you MEAN incorrectly and it happens to be
another word, you're still misspelling the word you meant. IOW, if you're
participating in a spelling bee and the word is "hippopotamus" and you hear
"handkerchief" and spell it h-a-n-d-e-r-c-h-i-e-f, you're still misspelling
hippopotamus.

And in that case, you would be misspelling "handkerchief" as well! g,d &r

Well, the auction description states , "CHARLES I HAMMERED ROYAL
FARTING". This indicates that the King was drunk (hammered) and passing
gas. Upon close inspection of the coin, I can not see the king at all, so
I really can't tell. Could be just a tabloid rumor?
