Experts, or old fogies??

Let's go a step further, and charge a dime for each improper use of grammar, (their vs. there) (we're vs were) etc.
Where/were

Sorry, yes, a pet peeve of mine also, but I tolerate it, and I'm not always perfect myself.

There is a good chance I made a mistake just in this post, but I only did that as a challenge to the members to pick it out ( if I did).

Haha, the PUI thread could pay for SO's bandwidth each month.

This thread reminded me of what was written on the bathroom wall at the NYC police academy. "Yestarday I could not spell kop today I be one" I t was funny then but I guess you had to be there.

I was a journalism/advertising major and I love to write...my wife is a literature and grammar teacher...so I have a very low tolerance for mistakes...sometimes the board drives me nuts. Like YESTERDAY, for instance :willy_nilly::

Posts: 964 Oh for FUUUUQUE'S SAKE...I CANNOT let this one go. Here's what Tony MEANT to type, I'm sure:

It (the boat) is (separate word) coming (corrected spelling) along, (comma) most of the wiring (corrected spelling) is complete (corrected spelling), Brian just need(S) someone (one word!) who knows how to do some minor (corrected spelling) gel coating (I'm thinking his "hint" means you, Den) and it should be almost downhill (one word!) from there. (At this point, the first sentence should end, and a new one starts) THE motors are close to being dropped (corrected tense) in and mocked (corrected tense) up so the rest of the wiring (corrected spelling) can be completed (corrected tense AND spelling) and everything else can be straightened (corrected spelling) up from there. (sentence ends improperly with a prepositional phrase, but I give up.).

I set type with a Ludlow type machine. Is that what you mean?

Dont know, I was too busy out in the shop to be next to a keyboard, but then again, look where that got me, i sit behind a keyboard all day now

What I meant, is in the old days they would stack up metal letters on this drum looking thing, and bolt it right into the press, hence the name "Letterpress", before Litho. And NO, I am not that old, just learned it in Thoery class, and worked at a shop where the old man would come in once a month and had an old letterpress in the corner, he would work for a few days just for kicks, the old man had too much $$ to worry about, but was a hard worker before his kids took the shop, and retired the old man.

Here is where I worked right out of High School, the printing industry and I didnt get along too well though. Got into cars, then boats, then settled in the Medical Device Industry.

It's actually a Ludlow Linotype machine. :sifone:

Looks like we got no shortage of experts in here. :smash::smash::smash:

I am just a former non expert, glad some people stuck with it, it just wasnt for me, those of you who have worked in Web print shops know what I mean. I enjoyed the smaller higher quality suff, but there just wasnt enough work, or $$ in it. Dont know if I ever told you Jay, but my Father in law is in the Biz, He runs the Publishing end of it, but owns a good portion of a large book printing Business overseas. Here is a link to his Biz, he runs the US end of things out of the Glen Cove NY office.
