Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

I'm not even talking about someone else's so-called "filthy language." I'm complaining about the general policy of changing words or acronyms to be what any given board administrator thinks they should be. Readability = user-friendliness. Someone else changing what is actually said with the excuse ...

For now, though, you're free to turn off the auto-correct if you wish. The instructions are at the top of every forum.

You're right. I should've specified that I meant "the royal you."

Re: Dr. Shades's spelling and/or grammar lesson of the day

So true, Lem. I can't express my distain for the autocorrect function adequately. I prefer to read what others actually say, not what any given site administrator thinks those people should have said.

One thing you guys can be relief upon for us attacking the messenger when your little feelings can't resolve facts against your carefully crafted hair fire.
Perhaps It's just me, but I'm not sure what you're saying here, Sub.

Re: Trump in killing mood ...

Hmm, you all have convinced me 99% of the way. Regarding that niggling remaining 1%, isn't it more accurate to say that the Trump Administration ended the de facto moratorium on the death penalty? ...and therefor Initiated his "end-of-term execution spree"?

In this case, "information" is a complete sentence, so the ellipsis begins directly after the final word (without a space between them). So I was correct.
No. You'd need four dots for that.
