The title says it all. I'm wheely confused. Contessa or Contesta
I have seen both spellings and I don't know if someone can't spell (Happens too often I think) or are they 2 Brands with similar names, do they look the same, whats the story

So what? :?

There is only one CONTESSA.
No such thing as a Contesta.
Or contesser.
Or anything else.

Contessa - one and only.

Gosh :lol:

So
Thank you
Your first response was a bit cryptic for me.
You have to admit Contesta does occur quite often, and its not like they are even adjacent on the keyboard (not mine anyway)

i thought there was a discussion on this recently. The guy from 'the mini experience' spelt it contesta, people tried to pick him up for this. He claims that it originally is Contesta.

Thats what i think i read anyway.. dont qoute me!

Thanks Anton
Now to hijack my own topic can you tell me what exactly you put in to the search function to find that thread. Whenever I try to search I end up with heaps of threads that have nothing to do with my request.
Is there a thread on how to use the search function?

Searching this site without a degree in boolean logic gets you (me, anyway) 15 pages of crap to wade thru. But I do find stuff, eventually. :lol:
