Yep!! When I won the 50/50 raffle at the Colorado National last year, B= ill wrote me a check from, hopefully, that same account. That is, I hop= e on other accounts we may have, our breed name IS spelled correctly. C= ould it have been The Bank of America's fault?? After all, they ARE a m= ajor supporter of the HSUS, so why would they have any respect for the n= ame of a breed? I showed the misspelling on the check to several people there and we got= a good laugh. = Maybe we should change our name to the Germen Shepard Dawg Klubb uf Amar= aca? I wonder if the gross spelling problems we are seeing nowadays is a resu= lt of phonetics taught in our schools back in the 50's? I thought it st= upid back then and I still do today. Do they still teach spelling that = way in today's schools? Or, do our grandchildren now learn spelling Ala= text-messaging?? = LOL....TTYL...ROTFLMAF!! BTW, SpellCheck has NO problem with Shepard, a= s long as it is capitalized...go figure!
