I see.

You've been told, privately, what's expected of you, and you now go 'public' with this question? You are on probation, forever, for being disrespectful to people who were respectful to you. You lied to my boss, and told him you'd apologized to me, and you never have. Now, it's too late. Now, you want to get into this further? Keep up with what you're doing, and you will be 'outside, looking in' forever, very, very soon.
There you go, a PUBLIC warning, with lots and lots of witnesses, apparently, exactly what you wanted. What was that old phrase again...Oh yeah, "Be careful what you wish for, you just MIGHT get it!"
I'll be watching very carefully, WShultz.

One other thing. This is NOT a joke, and has been moved out of the Jam Jokes section to General Info

WJ, on a different note. Aren't we supposed to have registered our real 'FULL' names for LI Jam forum? Hint Hint

[W. Johnston]

VERY TRUE. But, he is only suspended temporarily, for like 3 days, until HE corrects the problem, which I'm sure he will. I'd send him an email, but he complained the last time we did that, something about him being on the home computer too much.
Thanks for the heads up, Buddy!

Monitor the site!!!! Your making the board less and less enjoyable to come to when you act like your the big gun! Your the sheriff, it's cool. But, your job isn't to correct spelling, I've never been to a message board where the person who checks and watches every post, corrects spelling and then tires (tries)to make the person look bad!!! Your job is suppose (supposed) to be about keeping everyone in line that's out of line and for uncalled circumstances.

Enough with the gaint (giant) red corrections and enough of delating (deleting) words! You need to rethink what your (you're) doing to this board!

It's 11:23 p.m. I had a long day, goodnight.

Wj is the editor,moderator and because some people can't write in here like they are still in grade school by misspelling words and using nonwords then he has to be the sheriff too. And it is always the same people that have to be corrected time after time. Misspelling words is cute when you are 2-4 years old and trying to learn but when you are supposed to be an adult it's not cute and it makes it a lot harder to come on this site than the sheriff correcting them. Keep up the good work Sheriff

I agree with Bullfather. I have been a member since 2003 to the jam and if you were able to read my past posts, you would see that big daddy has been on my *** about spelling, that's not what a forum is about unless your that bored or you always wanted to be a teacher. keep the board safe from garbage, not misspelled words. I have never in my 20 years of surfing the web seen a forum correct a misspelled word ROFLMAO. correcting misspelled words WHO CARES most people know who I am by now and I could care less what they think about my spelling if you cant read my post because a few words are misspelled its not my problem or yours! if you want to cater to the few who do care then, do as I said in the past make it a member fee forum. oops not a good idea as membership would decrease and.......point being let the forum run its course. misspelled words DO NOT represent the JAM, so you don't need to protect anyone from seeing a word that someone misspelled. If my misspelled words are causing the Jam forum to crash because it doesn't understand what I'm typing, then by all means delete my post. As far as poor spellers representing a company, I own a successful limousine company, only had 12 years of schooling, didn't get where I am today from spelling, I got it from hard work. I never lost a client because I misspelled a word and because of my hard work, now my secretary takes care of the spelling. This is a forum we are typing in, not a contract. I guess I could have her type my post for me. HMMM, Nah I'd rather not post.

[W. Johnston]

Interesting comments, Michael, but you missed the point. If people keep reading the MISSPELLED words over and over again, they will begin to think that the spelling is correct, and follow along with the same mistakes. Frustrated teacher? Not by a long shot. Disgusted by what some teacher's have apparently turned loose on society, you betcha! As far as Bullfather's rant about big red corrections, no one gets those initially, only after they ignore the corrections that are not in red, just capitalized, and keep making the same mistakes over and over and over and over again, but that's only the bullfather and a few others. If it's less fun for you, why not try to improve, or just move on to a place where everyone will accept the fact that you've proven, repeatedly, that you learned nothing from your mistakes.
One more thing, Michael, I, too, have only 12 years of education, but look what I did with mine!

I reiterate one more time for those who've missed it in the past. A moment reading back what you've written before you hit "Submit Reply", will let you pick up your own mistakes. Have a nice day, all.

[Mike Fields]

Actually WJ, I never catch my mistakes before I hit 'reply'. When I make them, it's after I hit the button and see how it looks in 'real time'. Then I hit the 'edit' button to correct any.

Still, I think this whole thing could have been avoided if all of us had marched on Home Depot like I suggested last Sunday!

[maestri fan 1]

That happens to me all the time. It's not until after I post that I see the mistakes.

[RGeeProductions]

Same here. Instead of SUBMIT, look to the right. There IS a button that says PREVIEW POST!!!!

[W. Johnston]

I just found a perfect example of a case I mentioned above. I was going through the Pick 5 contest entries, and noticed someone had spelled a driver's last name wrong. Guess what? The person who picked after that spelled it wrong, too, but exactly the same way. I rest my case.
If correct and/or corrected spelling bothers you so much, you need to get on the side of where your's doesn't need to be corrected. Believe me, I used to be a terrible speller in some instances, so I did something about it. But it's much more comfortable on this side. You read over 20 thousand posts, and you end up shaking your head at where some of these spellings of words even originate. Typos are one thing, obvious misspellings are quite another. You may have noticed, I never use words I can't spell. Is it obvious misspelling for someone to constantly misspell "backstrech" (correct spelling "backstretch"). Yet, they never seem to see the correction, or do anything about it, even when the T is added, oversized and red. Hmmm.... The beat goes on!

And you are leaving Home Depot soon??? DAMN !!! LOL
