I may be in for some Rasberries here, but I think it's quite sad how many of our members heap huge amounts of praise on our favourite vehicle, but then insult it by spelling it's name wrong. The way many of them spell it"COOP", it means a pen where you keep Poultry. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing I like more than to get a nice "CHIC" in my car, but I still give it it's correctly spelt name"COUPE"

Coop generally is used in fondness - there's nothing insulting about it, quite the opposite. In the same way you might call your wife, the 'misses' (sp?) etc, or if you had a BMW, you may refer to it as your 'BM' or Mercedes Benz as Merc/Mercedes etc - although 'Benz' IS particularly annoying Even my mates might say 'hows the coop?' I guess the accurate way of spelling 'coop' would be 'coup', but that just looks like you've made a spelling mistake & missed the 'e' off. So by using 'coop' it shows that you are using that word specifically, in fondness. Strange thread BTW More importantly, and worringly are the people who obviously can't spell or have half a grasp of using the English language. (PS. I bet I've made a spelling error in this post & I'm going to get flamed ) Edit: While we are on the subject, 'Fiat' should actually be 'FIAT' (The title of this whole forum & club name is incorrect - look at the top of this page )

Alt Gr is the first key after the space bar on mine. But it is easier to use ctrl (1st kay bottom left) alt (3rd key bottom left) and e to get a é Using ctrl over on the right (last key on bottom row) and alt and e brings up an msn search window é's are good, é's are good

Hi came2dance. Nope! it doesn't work on my key board (2 of them) On one it brings up Google, and the other, Search. But there again, as the water goes the opposite way down the plug hole in NZ as it does in the UK, I guess thats the reason.

Barrah, the difference between 'coupé' and 'coop' is the difference between a formal name and a pet name. Well, for the literate amongst us. I can't speak for those who just can't spell out there And alt gr e produces 'e' on this keyboard too, in Linux. I stole one of the bundle kindly placed further upthread Neil

As pointless threads go, this is right up there.
What's the big deal? Call your car whatever you like.
Jeez.....

I think a certain person from new zealand (who started this thread), is being a devils advocate here.

Ah yes Neil that may well be, but it does not alter the fact that if you spell it "Coop" you are calling it a Hen house.
Still can't get my key boards to print that e
