Prominent Typos

I'm the first to admit that I may be overly sensitive to this, but would it be possible to fix a couple glaring typos in thread titles that keep coming up in new posts? The ones I'm thinking of specifically are:

British vs Yankiee's in Spring Weights

and

Alfa Brea Pics

Like nails on a chalkboard.

Exactly - it's not that hard to check before hitting send.

One could always go to www.iespell.com and download a free spellcheck that works with IE and will appear in the tools part of your toolbar...

Thanks.

I didn't mean to cast aspersions at the originators of those threads---I've certainly submitted posts with typos in them. It's just that those two threads are pretty lively, and they come up all the time...it was just bugging me. An objective bonus: now we will appear smarter to casual visitors.
