ilovejulie 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I'll take two cookies.I'd like to congratulate Chip and a Chair for his fine proofreading abilities. I'd be willing to wager that less than 1% of the college graduate populace could match this level of precision. In this day and age of "C U ltr" and "brb" and "lol", Chip and a Chair stands out as a shining beacon upon the rocky headlands of grammatical darkness.

Chip_and_a_Chair 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Agreed. However his reading comprehension is lacking. Someone please explain to him the difference between "typo", and "grammatical error".Ah ha, but I assumed that such an egregious assault on the English language must have been a series of typos, rather than grammatical errors, because I refused to believe that someone paid to write would have been oblivious to proper construction. My guess would be a sticky keyboard was the culprit.If I'm lacking anything, it's realistic expectations, not reading comprehension. Link to post Share on other sites
