Spelling Saves Lives!

The difference between these two sentences could mean a crash or not:

"Quick, BRAKE the truck!"

"Quick, BREAK the truck!"

Please, don't destroy a perfectly good AD Chevy; always use your BRAKES!

Re: Spelling Saves Lives!

NH/ME words can get lost with voice-to-text also.

FWIW, many of the drivers in our fleet report the Breaks squeal or sound funny. I guess they do have break troubles as they never seem to have enough time to bring the vehicles in to be checked.

Speech to text misses punctuation, too. "Let's eat, Grandpa." becomes Let's eat grandpa. Yet another potentially fatal message created by technology.

Sounds like the Craigslist add posters here. Warn wench is a popular one. OLd man Warn must have had a lot of randy daughters.
