I don't want one! Nobody in San Francisco has real lawns. I hate
mowing lawns.

When I was learning about pm alternators, I bought a replacement John
Deere rider lawnmower alternator

https://www.amazon.com/Permanent-Alternator-MIA10338-SE501822-11991077200/dp/B07GLXRMYH/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=B07GLXRMYH&qid=1655572080&sr=8-2

so I could talk sort-of intelligently to a potential customer.

This was the result:

I'm designing another, smaller one now, single pcb. It's an
interesting problem. PM alternator regulators work by shorting the
alternator.

~chuckle~

I don't know.

Why can't, or won't, people differentiate between "couldn't care less"
and "could care less".

I think "lazy" or "don't care" tend to cover a lot of cases. Closely
followed by "ignorance".

The latter appears to be an Americanism, I cannot recall hearing it from an Aussie or Pom.

Think the error occurs mostly in written languag, rather than
spoken - as the 'rule' originates solely to ease speach.

It shows up when the text is read out loud - in a script or
tele-promp.

A recent Sci-Fi novel hit the stand with 'would of', 'should of'
and 'could of', when would've (would have), could've (could
have) etc are correct. A case where the easier spoken form
gets corrupted in text.

Not something that spell check corrects for you.

You can still drive a Deere in parades. It's an historic mower. A

You get both with speech recognition. Every once in a while, it amazes me
by correctly printing garbled speech. But getting into it, getting it to
work reliably after the wow effect is over, ain't easy for some people.

The grammar checkers I've experienced are more of a
nuisaance, than anything else.

If one were used that caught those errors, they
wouldn't be there, would they?

I expect that a publishing house or broadcasting
facility would be armed with any tools needed -
complicated by the fact that written dialog is
often intended and expected to be non-grammatical,
in order to be authentic or amusing - never mind
script or staging directions etc.

English is charmingly chaotic. One word can have 5 meanings, or one
concept can be expressed with 5 different words. Nouns can be verbs
can be adjectives. Not to mention the many regional versions of
English.

"Correct" spelling is over-rated.
