When I walked into Mat's shed earlier, I saw his old Ashton, noticed Mat's usual fetish of stamping chainstays had come into effect, but then saw the top-tube.

I think I died a little inside when I saw that :P

I wondered what looked wrong with this. Just to show that the English language can be very confusing:

horde Pronunciation (hôrd, hrd)

n.

1. A large group or crowd; a swarm: a horde of mosquitoes. See Synonyms at crowd1.

2.

a. A nomadic Mongol tribe.

b. A nomadic tribe or group.

[ultimately (via Polish horda) from North-Western Turkic ordï, residence, court, from Old Turkic ordu.]

hoard Pronunciation (hôrd, hrd)

n.

A hidden fund or supply stored for future use; a cache.

v. hoard·ed, hoard·ing, hoards

v.intr.

To gather or accumulate a hoard.

v.tr.

1. To accumulate a hoard of.

2. To keep hidden or private.

[Middle English hord, from Old English; see (s)keu- in Indo-European roots.]

hoarder n.

Where's the Spelling Bee when you need him? I don't have a horde, not even of mosquitos...
