I know Bill Ray was at his house shop just 2 weeks ago, he builds a nice guitar, modeled after the show bud with piping on front. He makes all the parts that go on it including pedals, all the alum. work, has his own line of strings/ He has three beauties in his show room, Two single and D10.and the price is right.
Hew is in Jacksonville, Phone William Ray on Forest Blvd, Jax Fl. Bill just celebrated his 79th birthday three Sat. ago.
nice guy very reliabe to deal with.

I read this forum and silently suffer through all sorts of spelling errors, grammatical errors, misplaced punctuations, etc. I just grit my teeth and bear it.
But to have a forum with a good portion dedicated to the *pedal* steel guitar and to see it spelled as *peddle* really needs a comment.
Hey!
PEDAL is what you push with your feet.
PEDDLE is the act of selling something, i.e., he tried to peddle a bum pedal steel to me.

Please! Some spelling respect for the instrument!

Hey lighten up on the guy!..He's new to the world of pedal steel and make no mistake about it.. He is a fan!..
A simple correction would have sufficed...no
need to take it personally... geez!

Hey Brian!.. As long as you continue to host New Jerseys' "only" peddle steel club you can spell it any way you want as far as i'm concerned

Bless you for that, Winnie. Makes my teeth hurt.

Would you please also function as the CAPS LOCK police?

When I lived in Jax back in the early 90's I met Ray. He was a super nice guy and from what I remember of the steel I played it was pretty decent. But of course that was a long time ago and even though I have a good memory it's getting shorter every day.

Look at the "Rayline" steel guitar on my website,(www.steelguitar.net) it is beautiful, and a great deal for what it is. A lot of steel for $699.00. Click on "other guitars" icon.
Would make the perfect steel guitar for a young player that doesn't want a student guitar but doesn't want to pay for an expensive pro model either.

and while you're at it keep a look out for those who do not know how to use commas full stops and exclamation marks and such and don't use a capital i when they mean themselves that can be very annoying don't you all agree well i think so anyway

Not To Mention Those Starting Every Word With A Capital Letter!

I guess we should all be happy that we live in such a great country that we have the time and the energy to get so upset over how a nubbie spells pedalsteel. I did not mean any "disrespect" to the instrument.Thanks for the civil comments.Brian

Dave Van Allen · Post by **Dave Van Allen** » 29 Oct 2004 9:50 am

hey Brian- I believe that's spelled "newbie"; a "nubbie" is something else, and I'm not sure it's appropriate in mixed company

Is this Grammer or Spelling Forum or Steel Guitar Forum? Correcting someone for spelling is the next thing to calling them stupid. What does it matter? We all know what he means.

Because newbie,nubie,nubbie, are all slang, I don't really know if one could take issue with that spelling.But once again I am humbled by the spelling forum ooops, I mean steel forum. Maybe we should all take a walk and get some fresh air,switch to decafe, talk to a pretty girl. Thanks, Brian

Winnie.

Me sure is tryink to get language lesson.Butt me also am dutchman...double trouble.
What i am trying to say is some folks do not have it.I am one of them but i sure as h--- am trying to type english that all of you understand.
Most of the people here are multilingual.I am wondering how many of you guys know more then one language.

But i agree with every one of you that the word PEDDLE is something that you don't put up here.....

And if there are some people that have some comment on my English please tell me and i will stir up the translation sites a bit more eyy...

Not that I want to add to the off topic portion of this thread (well, actually I do), but common courtesy for each other is what I expect to see on this forum. It is OK to disagree on things, but to get on someone for a spelling mistake (only 1 that I see in the title - which I didn't really notice until it was mentioned) is really not in good taste. BUT... The common courtesy should also be extended to the readers of the posts by the people writing them. Would you like reading a book that had every 3rd word misspelled, had no punctuation, or WAS WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS? Me neither. We should all make the effort to spell correctly, use punctuation as it should be used, and not type in all capital letters. I don't know about others, but when I see a post with a lot of misspellings (not talking about an occasional word here and there), no punctuation or all caps, I tend not to read the post (they tend to give me a headache).

I just think we should all try to make the posts as easy to read as possible.

Now, let's get back to the original topic and give this man the info he wants. I know nothing about the Rayline.

. . . but to get on someone for a spelling mistake . . .
================================
How about getting on someone for making a good faith contribution to clearer communications?

Somehow I can't see a guy like Winnie doing this for the hell of it.

Hey People, I was always told NEVER put down anyone that may not have or know less than you. So think about this one.

So let's not get on this spelling thing again.
Everyone have a nice day.

In all fairness... there is a forum on the Forum called "No Peddlers",a play on words that b0b presumably enjoyed. Most of us make an effort to make our posts sensible and grammatical. I do, and yet, there are those times that I see my mistakes only after I hit "Submit Reply". So, I think a certain amount of forbearance is in order. I would also comment that I am extremely impressed with the superb command of English that our members from Europe and elsewhere exhibit. I speak German- but not to the extent that I'd be comfortable posting on a German Forum about... anything. I think a little slack is in order, assuming that people are putting forth their best effort to be clear. I'm not real thrilled with the ALL CAPS posts- they're really hard to read. I don't bother with them. But, in general, the info is more important to me than the presentation.
