Philosopher Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Is that on the "boilerplate" describing the terms of use for the Classifieds there is a misspelling! (Yes, you've just been click-baited.) "...Offers posted by Guests or Members not including thier SASS Number will be deleted. " Arrrrrgh! "Their" is misspelled as "thier" and it catches my eye everytime I visit the Classifieds. Carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 My biggest complaint and pettest peeve about the SASS Wire and Saloon is the editorial function which boldly announces that you have edited your post. Mostly you've just corrected the typos; sometimes smoothed the expression, all in the first 30 seconds or so after posting. I've never been on another site that does this. It annoys me. Other than that, no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again. I find it quite amusing that someone who would use the noun GIFT where he should be using the verb GIVE would be upset by a simple misspelling.

Alpo Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 5 minutes ago, Eyesa Horg said: I believe he used GIFTED as a verb I know he did. He used gift as a verb. But gift is a noun. I know for the last dozen or so years people have been using gift as a verb, but they are wrong. You cannot gift somebody something. You give them a gift. I know English is a complicated language, but geez Louise, we learned that in the second grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 My most recent pet peeve is people writing “should of”!
