If you are not all ready a Toadfish Sibling, please register. If you are all ready registered, please log on.

hey- where is that game anyway?
let's go look in the closet under the stairs and see if we can find it (says the one who can't play because she can't get photos to load anyway)

BC---- we do need to invent a translator for you sometimes ---

This is very unclear, now, isn't it? This line was written back when we were all ready Siblings at TOP before MB created this space and we've never bothered to change it. I guess it's time!    :-[   Please suggest alternatives.

"Please register. If you previously a Toadfish Sibling, let a mod know who you were. If not, you will start as an OWL"

Something like that?

Ops, that wasn't it.

My first quote was:

Quote from: The Toadfish Monastery
If you are not all ready a Toadfish Sibling, please register. If you are all ready registered, please log on.

Someone corrected this to my second quote:

Quote from: The Toadfish Monastery....laterz
If you are not all ready a Toadfish Sibling, please register. If you are already registered, please log on.


The same mistake was in both quoted sentences but has been corrected in the second only as it stands at present on the current home page.


The choice is between "all ready" and "already".

Perhaps it should say "all ready already". Might help sibling chatty.

;D

I think the problem is that I tried to type 'already' and got a spell check correction on it. Flippin' spell check doesn't know squat. That'll taech me to check anyhting improtnta.

In this case Spell Check was quite imaginitive. Maybe we should make it an honorary Toadfish..... has good attitude.

Spell Check is selective in imagination, and prejudiced against British and Texan spelling.

And it is mean to dyslexics.

But, I do like it...lurvely little red stripes evverwhar...

for the longest time I thought those little red and green markings were simply nice decorations on my essays and such and then I began to realize a correlation between my professors writing --- "why don't you try spell check goofy!" on my essays and the little decorations and well now by George I think I've got it
