Why is it that 4 months to the day went by that I had a typo on a post of mine, AND NONE OF YOU TOLD ME? Grrrrrrr.

    I would rarely comment on someone's typo unless it confused the meaning.

    Do you mean to say that if ever I see a flaw in your spelling, punctuation or grammar, you'd really appreciate it if I pointed it out?
    Would you actually like me to be your personal proofreader?

      I thought you knew me! I am so abhorrent to committing typographical errors that I try to avoid doing it as if it were to invite a pox upon us. If and when I initially miss my own errors and find about them later, I really agonize over it and have to correct them immediately. I equate it to walking around with my zipper open and the whole world can see the color of my underwear. Ugggh!

      I appreciate when anyone points them out, and I’ve never had a less than gracious response to anyone who has done it. Well, maybe with Stu, but that’s just two cantankerous gents going at each other. Grrrrrrr. But I digress. 

      Advise away, mon amie!

    OK, mon ami, if I see you've made a typo I will let you know.
    But since you are so fastidious with your writing, I expect it would be a rare event.

    Here's what you do, inky. When you spot one, let him know that you've found a typo or grammatical error (those are rare), but DON'T TELL HIM WHERE IT IS! Just kindly let him know that there's one floating around out there.... somewhere....

    It's great fun! :)

      That’s it, Ansley! I want an immediate divorce, and even worse, you’re out of The Harem too! (Well, not completely out. I’ll move you down to the bottom of the rotation for a week or two.)

    Grrrrrrrr.

    :(

    One question for you:  Even though the marriage is fake, can the alimony please be real?

      Of course it can be real alimony, Baby, as real as you coming over here and working it off in trade.

    I did not want to be the bearer of bad news because the shock could be fatal for an old geezer.

      I know, right?  I’m sure that makes it your fault. I’m calling my attorneys to pursue a cause-of-action complaint against you. I’ll see you in Grammar Court, pal!  Grrrrrrr.

    Actually, I was helping you.  It's ok to have let one slip through once in awhile.  It shows that you aren't perfect.

    But Randy many of us are not disturbed by "typos". Many go right by us and those we notice don't upset us but we feel live and let live.
