A huge Thank You for everything you do for the scrollers. You certainly have no need to apologize for a spelling error. English is a difficult (at times stupid) language.
Example: Why do we have a "ph" and "f" sound?
I spent much of my life on a farm. Operated a COMbine. When my sweet wife cooks, she comBINES ingredients. Go figure.
A Merry & Blessed Christmas to you and all your family.

Jerry, it's a combine because it "combines" the actions of a reaper, thresher, and winnower. (Thanks Wikipedia).
But you are correct, English is an inconsistent language.

On the other hand, "combine" is a bit of an oxymoron. It also separates the kernel from the chaff/cob.

Then there are words like PAIL and PALE. OR, OAR and ORE. They all sound the same but have completely different spellings and meanings.
Ahh, ENGLISH! My only language.

Silver Surfer, do you mean it should be called a Combining Separator or a Separating Combine?
