At least that one is misspelled mostly in jest and we know what is being conveyed. Lots of others, not so much...

The word in the English language is spelled moron. The colloquialism used on vital is moran.

You seriously think most vital members think moron is spelled moran? Its been a running joke around here for years. Great job catching an obvious joke, moran!

You must be new here. Not only do we know the correct use of moran, we also are getting better at the proper use of the word dickbeater. Hang around, you'll learn too. Wink

Ya, the Moran thing has been a running joke here for quite some time, I sometimes get the feeling some don't really know the difference. Eh.

I've noticed, on a pretty wide spectrum of forums and comment sections, the most misused are there, their and they're.

"Seriously? The off season is so bad...

...our new thread topics have come to this....."

1. I live in California, so there is no "off season". Went riding yesterday and it was 80 degrees. Racing the Elsinore GP on Friday and it should be around....80 degrees. Racing CALVMX the following week at Milestone and it should be...78 degrees. Damn, guess I might need a sweater for that one.

2. I for one am mildly amused by this thread.

One day several years ago I started noticing many instances of the word "moran" being used. Oh, how I wanted to correct them! My fingers twitched as they hovered directly over the keyboard and I was ready to flame them for being stupid. I'm glad I resisted the temptation... strong as it was. It would have made me the newest Moran on Vital. There's better ways to obtain that status here.
