    Sigh! I'm a spelling nazi, and once in a while I just have to say this...

    It is scrap, scrapped, scrapping, scrapper.

    Scrape, scraped, scraping, scraper all mean something else entirely!

    Okay, got it off my chest. Y'all go back to writing it whatever way you want!



    Love ya brothers and sisters! Thanks for being in this community!

    It is for sale, not for sell.

    You are going to sell it, not sale it.

    Why are you scraping a car. That will trash the paint.

    guess Ill take my uneducated A$$ some where else, since I cant spell so I also aparently cant make it as a scrapper. Just my .02

    "some are inteligent beyond their education while, others are educated beyond their inteligence."

    That was a quote I made back in 1984 when the owner of the company was awarding me the Grand Masters ring from ford motor co. when he made the statement, I have 5 college graduates on the sales floor in the truck department, then asked the question, how can you out sell all five of them together.

    Ill take listening learning and common sence any day. As long as I can read it and understand it, as far as I'm concerned, you can spell it wrong any day of the week except for one occasion..... my name on the check.

    Actually, I think it works with Scrapette. Rox+ette, Ann+ette, Lynn+ette, Scrap+ette. It looks right to me at least.

    Have a great weekend!

    Oh, and olddude? No college education either, my friend. Just the way my brain works. I mean no offense, and hope you and others were not insulted. My wife thinks I am crazy for knowing obscure words and every possible anagram of them.
