It’s quite a curious thing but sometimes an industry uses a word everyday to describe its products but spelling of that word and how to say it is really difficult to pin down – even for people in the know and “fascia” is one of those.
The Roofline business in which we work is no different. “Roofline” is a word that was pretty much invented many years ago in order to sound a bit more technical when describing, what are still referred to by most people in the trade, as Fascias and Soffits.
But it’s the word “fascia” that most people can’t agree on and it’s a great example of a word that you’d think should be easy enough to spell until you come to write it down.
How do we know this? Well Google records the search terms that people use when looking for products and companies. And a quick look at the results tells us that we should celebrate the wonderful inventiveness of everyone racking their brains for the best combination of letters to use for this strange word.
So lots of people search for Facia, Fecia, Fasia, Facier, Facsia, Faschia, Fasciia, Facers, Facials, the list goes on…
Luckily, Google will try to take a guess at what word your looking for based on the context of the question. So even the most outrageous of spellings can get you to where you want to be.
But it’s not just down to bad spelling as each if the variations could fit the bill because “fascia” or “fascias” is one of those wonderful words which sounds as though it could be spelt a thousand different ways depending on how you say it. This can also include which part of the country you come from and which dialect you use.
Couple all this with the fact that Microsoft Word and all the other spelling auto correct systems don’t seem to recognise it in its correct form, and you’ll get no help from them either!
Now do you see why so many people refer to these products as roofline? Especially us tradies!
