Unfortunately, most people do not realize that these are two different terms. Again, I do not wish to cause you any discomfort. Best wishes to you and happy quilting.
The longer you see misspellings, the harder it gets to spell anything, which is why English teachers complain that their spelling goes downhill after awhile. "Salvage" is misused frequently online. It's a wonder anyone can spell at all.

I had to look it up, myself, to start the thread.
