    Hey Jon,

    I think you spelt something wrong, it's: Askimet not Akismit

    Good post anyway

  • Fire G

    Nope, no spelling error. It is "Akismet".

  • Andrew

    Ah okay, Well there still is a spelling error. It's here if it helps you see it better: http://tinyurl.com/fsspellerror

    (Forget how i spelt it in the pic, it's spelt Akismet instead of Akismit)

  • iheartwordpress

    Andrew, you're right and wrong. There is one error, but your correct spelling is also wrong.

    It's "Akismet"

  • ORiOn

    @Andrew, @Fire G, It's not Askimet or Akismit, it's Akismet...

  • Nicholi

    Haha. The comments here crack me up! How do you spell getoverit?

  • Bill Lowden

    Great post! The spelling is close enough for me thanks!

  • Ege

    unrelated: "kismet" means "luck" and "fortune" in Turkish. akismet: a fortune? =p
