« Last Edit: Today at 6:49pm by Venter »Why are you all seeing this message at the bottom of some of the Posts now? Truth is, in the past version of BoroughVENT, I was able to do a "silent edit", that means that I could change something without you noticing. If you all could SPELL, or use the correct usage of their, there, they're or through, threw, I would have an easier life  Normally, the edit is in a TITLE of a thread, and I would modify it for either date, spelling, or clarity. Often, it is to correct a horrendous or embarrassing spelling gaffe to prevent you from being a laughing stock. I can't/won't correct all spelling - only when it is an important point. Another common edit is separating out improper or unattributed "quotes". It will take a while for everyone to get used to this new site, but rest assured, when you see me EDITING, it's probably because you left something out.  Just to be clear... I DO NOT censor your stuff, nor do I change the content. If I have to censor you, you WILL know about it.

You know, I've always wondered about that. I have been monitoring this site for years and have been informed and very entertained. I have noticed (and sometimes been appalled by) the poor spelling and grammar exhibited by many of the Venters. I know that fingers don't fly as fast as thoughts, and sometimes just to make a point grammar and spelling errors can enhance writing. Most of your contributors seem highly intelligent. However misusing its and it's and then and than makes me cringe.
I can't believe that after all the controversies that I have been following it is this revelation that has prompted me finally comment.

I know I do it and I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but if offends people so much don't read them. Venter I don't care if you do make any corrections to my posts it may help for future posting. I don't have any reason to be grammar perfect this is an open forum and if my poor grammar and spelling puts forth a bad image then I guess it will be your loss for not knowing me. Spelling and proper use of it does not tell the whole story about a person and if it does in your eyes then you have few friends in this world. This is not intended to be a bust on any person that has posted or that will post on this thread I'm just saying. Its all good!! ;D |

Spellchecker (jaimason) said that he typed with one hand which accounted for missed or incorrect keys. No worries. Usually I'm working while posting and making a bunch of decisions so I don't have time to proof read and stuff. I never got the whole grammar boner some people have but apparently there are quite a few people who it really bugs. Usually these people have above avg. intelligence so thats a good thing for Gene. Although us morons are hard to deal with Gene seems to do a good job of keeping us in line |

The quickest way to avoid spelling errors on-line, at least for me anyway, is to use Mozilla Firefox. It has a built in spell checker :-)
