Is there no way to make the board's software automatically change "aperature" to "aperture"? Either that or an immediate electronic supply of analgesics and tranquillisers.

Payasam, I have large stack of APERTURE magazines next to my monitor so it's one of the few words I'm sure to spell correctly. Unless of course someone moves them. Jim

Jim, would you consider sending a copy each to, well, so many that you won't have any copies left? I've no idea, of course, if that will do any good. By the way, does the friendly looking canine sniff the image through the shutter release?

Would that be the aperature of your lense, by any chance?

We have a word "apperatuur" in Dutch. Is this the same as aperature?

Typing mistake.
Should have read "apparatuur". But still I didn't get any answer to my question. 😛

Payasam,
Depending upon your browser/OS combination, you may be able to use the Google Toolbar. One of it's features is a spell checker for anything you type into a web interface. Perhaps that will help?

Its worse than apposatrophe abuse 🙂 Onomatopoeization of a triphthongized alveolar approximant? Monstrous!

Then there are the 'Epsom' printers here almost every day. Named after a horse racing track in southern England.

Funny thing is, the spell checker on Blogger asks me to change EpsoN to EpsoM.

A perfectly good word. An aperature is a place where aperitifs are stored before serving. A person who brings you your aperitif is an aperator, which *is* sometimes confused with aperature, but should not be. These words have fallen into disuse by the less literate among us, first replaced by "waiter" and "waitress," and now by the more politically correct "server." Still, many "servers" are flattered by the more...hmm...aristocratic, I guess I'd say..."aperator," so the next time you are in a cafe, signal your server by called, "Hey, aperator." It'll often speed attention.

My word, you're right! But aperature is more properly an aperator's manifest skill with the ah-so. 😎

For pity's sake, Mark, STAY DOWN.
I hope I too didn't put an apostrophe where it dont belong. Must get this Google thingy which, lemme see, will correct the errors which others kindly make for me.
The Dutch (single or doublet?) spelling seems about right. Maybe this forum should run in Polyglot Googlish.
But "aperature" and "lense" add up to a miserable score (two, not twenty), nowhere near the often stunning achievements of undergrads in my far-away teaching days.
