Aperture

[Nezmo]

Folks, it's 'aperture' not 'aperature.'

Sorry, I don't normally point out these sorts of things but I see it so often in here and it's such a fundamental term in photography, I thought I would point it out.

No offense intended to anyone.

Thanks for humoring me. I feel better now.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[jjonsalt]

I don't recall seeing "aperature" used on this forum. Must had got by me.

[boink]

[tdaugharty]

Spelling is optional ;)

[spencer87]

cant say I've noticed the mispelling here either, but spelling usually bugs me too. we're happy to humor you :)

Thanks for that. I'm English btw and I spelled 'humor' the American way out of politeness and respect for the Americans here.

I will confine all future posts to the subject of lens softness.

I will confine all future posts to the subject of lens softness.Get bashed in the head with a lens, and you won't be describing it as soft..... :p

By the way - I, too, get irritated with the incorrect spelling I often see. The one that rubs me the most is "lense". While there may be a dictionary somewhere that shows it as an alternate spelling, I don't know of any camera or lens manufacturers who spell lens with two e's.

Only camera and lens manufacturers consistently use "engrish" in advertising, so I wouldn't exactly use them as a guideline.

Engrish...come on now, we're all here centered around Japaneese products...we love Japaneese! The least you can do is spell Engrish the way it sounds! It would be bad Karma not too and you may incur a curse! Oooo...maybe Bird Fru! Ahhhhh....

The least you can do is spell Engrish the way it sounds!

We really don't need a new language.

Perhaps a job as an English teacher is in your future?

[peterdoomen]

Can be important though. Try a search on the forums for "aperture" and you might miss interesting posts... No, I am sure you will miss interesting posts.

[chris clements]

it's such a fundamental term in photography.
...but less fundamental than LENS
That's L E N S
a four letter word
not a five letter word
With only ONE 'E'

God, I love a good rant this time of the evening.

According to merriam-webster, both are correct.

Main Entry: lens
Variant(s): also lense /'lenz/
Function: noun

[Rumjungle]

I see "apeture" used just as often.

[chris clements]

also lense
... then we must now be in that Brave New World where if you misspell or misuse often enough you get accepted (cf 'to beg the question')

Sadly no. English was my weakest subject in school. So, I guess I really shouldn't be correcting folks should I :D .

[wazmunstr]

spelling n@zi! haha jk

[Moppie]

I find that the idea of an American trying to teach anyone how to spell engages my sense of humour.

[Radtech1]

Texan's are a bunch of arrogant, know-it-all, *******s.

Boy, you will get no argument from me on THAT point.

So has anyone used Apple's Aperasure? My computer is too weak to make the attempt... ;-)

[peterdoomen]

I've also encountered the variant "appature".

Any others? Maybe we can compose a POTN Dictionary with lots of variants!

[jbkalla]

I've been meaning to axe y'all how to spell "aperture" correctly...

[OdiN1701]

Speelling is opshunal ;)

fixed
