Hey! Did anyone else notice in the latest episode of C:TPTF that there were not one, not two, but THREE typographical errors. Of two distinct varieties and in the very first sentence, no less!

"So it was that Prince Green and Prince Browns war torn kingdoms launched into an epic war. "

This should ACTUALLY be written as "So it was that Prince Greens' and Prince Browns' war-torn kingdoms launched into an epic war. "

This disregard to the ancient traditions of hyphenation and apostraphenation is a smack in the face to die-hard fans of the series.

Well I'm taking a rather interesting approach in this series and that was one o tha artistic choices I went with.

Stay tuned for Chapter Three coming next week!

that's nothing!

i overheard someone giving advice to someone else and at some point said,
"don't worry, you never always say the right thing."

technicaly speaking, you can only "always say the right" thing once!
so either you always say the right thing, never say the right thing, or sometimes say the right thing!!!

Hmph.

Where I comes from, we put the apostrophes before the esses, boy.

You best move along and let that elf cook his food. Y'hear?

A comma can be replaced with a line drop. It is both acceptable and ethical on the medium of Board Messaging. so :yuck: bleah to you
