Typo found...if you care

I used to be a copy editor--a life-long curse. This typo is "fovever" in the Search Forum, "go back" (in time) drop-down menu.

Speaking of menus, I proofread those every time I'm in a restaurant. A CURSE, I TELL YOU!

    Dear gos:

    That is why I feel such strong kinship with you. You CARE about those things...and don't forget the relative pronouns which and that and the commas that make ALL the difference!

    You must get a real headache when reading posts from those who took heavily to drink during the fire-up, cook-up and eat-up process. LOL That's gotta be a lot of headaches.

    ...and case agreement, and parentheticals, new paragraphs, homonym confusion, and the most egregious thing of all: ignoring capitals

    we need a dictionary, too.

    marinate= to soak something in a flavored liquid
    marinade= what you soak it in

    advise= to give someone advice
    advice= what you give them when you advise them

    ..and affect and effect, oh yeah.

    I give a cackle at the marinate/marinade thing all the time.

    By cackle, I mean I've adopted myself into Leroy's brood.

    Welcome to my world. The world where I started out learing the three "R's": Read'n Rit'n an' Cipher'n.

    I also took to learn'n some history (everbody in lOuisiana needs to no some'm about Huey P. Long), and geographie (everbody needs to know whare ther'r at), and even som typ'n 'cause sooner or later somebody's gonna axe you 'what's yo blood type?' (min's red and sticky most of the time).

    But most of all, I be learn'n how to line up words when I'm 'a writ'n so's they make sence (don't make no never mind when Im talk'n 'cause I can start out say'n "I mean..." or stop talk'n by say'n "know what I mean?"

    An if'n I'm tell'n a story I can zagerate a bit and all them listen'n to my story will take it for gosple, expecelly if it's 'bout sex or poletics.

    I love be'n Souther'n
