Malware. Not something you want to deal with. If the site is one you've used for years, it's probably from a malicious advertisement and not the site itself. You can avoid a lot of these by using an ad blocker that blocks javascript ads as well as popups and inpage ads. I use Firefox with Adblock Plus and never have a problem.

No I haven't ever used it, and not about to take a chance.

I clicked on your link now I am infected! Thanks Dick!...lol jk I rarely care about malware. I store clean HD Images on a removable media for all 3 of my laptops. A complete restore is about an hour away with a few updates from MS.

Did you see the Orange Curtain was in the news.

 

[Dick7Access]

Well locally we are in the news everyday but this must of been something national. What did we do this time? Block some immigrants?

They were quoting some political annalist and that if they split up CA that this section would be more (D) and this section would be more (R) and if I remember correctly they couldn't figure out for sure which way the Orange Curtain would go.

Northern California does want to succeed from southern California.

Do you mean cede?


'Must of been'. Aaaagh!

Probably closer to "secede."

I HATE when people type "of" for "-ve." Try having someone type "shouldn't of," you'll cry for humanity.

 

[Dick7Access]

Oh my. :banghead: Dick and I speak the same language, I am sure he got it.

Actually blast, I thought it was a pun intended. N CA doesn't want to succeed, at least the SF area, nor do want to (secede cede), as they want the more successful people of other areas of CA to pay for their foolishness.

Words are very important. At 8 years old my dad had built me a new peddle car that looked like a jeep. My friend who was 10 had a piece of board with old carriage wheels. I want to say is your dad to poor to build you one like mine. Instead I said is your dad to cheap. He beat me up.

My spelling is atrocious, and on top of that both hands have neuropathy. Two words that I have to be on guard for is using “there” where I should use “their” and using “hear” where I should be using ”here” In high school and college my marks were less because of spelling and grammar. A few years ago I started working on a doctorate (since dropped due to finances) on line run by a friends of mine in Chicago. The first critique was Dick you’re working on a doctorate not a email, watch you spelling.
I am sure it stems from grammar school where they were trying a new experiment, of using flash cards instead of sounding out each syllable.

 

[Dick7Access]

I know that grammar is extremely important. In fact I literally lay awake at night worried to death I might place a an exclamation mark in the wrong place. As I write this post my hands are soaking wet, totally terrified of grammar. Grammar is only second to nuclear war or asteroids striking the earth.

Yes, we's speeks ta sime laqgeed. One of the reasons I am so aware of the there/their and hear/here is that my wife is always after me about them, as she corrects all my ministry letters. Sometimes if I want to get a rise out of her, I will reverse all of them in one letter. Of course you can't sound out a word if you don't pronounce it right. With my Yankee accent it gets challenging. Believe it or not when I am preaching in the south, mid-west, or west coast my accent helps. Many times I have heard, oh your accent is so charming. I use to to like it when Bob Larson use to correct my spelling because he did it without sarcasm, but for some reason he stopped. I suppose he thought that I was beyond help.

Yes , we may decipher peoples' posts but shouldn't we make the effort, no matter how hard, to be correct?

I say this as a person with one, very poor, eye , the other has no central vision. I need three pair of specs, two are varifocal, the pair I am wearing now are simple magnifying , I need those for most reading and on my iPad.

Yes, some effort to being correct, but IMHO being sweet and not attacking is far more important. It is sad that those that attack maliciously show there insecurity. It makes themselves feel good to try and knock others as they think that elevates themselves.

 

[Vassago]

I'm over the wrong "there" or "your" usage. However, that one mistake really grinds my gears. It can't be helped.

BTY did you pick a restaurant yet?

 

[Brianwarnock]

So it's not about stupidity or learning or how clever you are, it's about constant use, it's about being interested in it, about caring.

This is so true , unfortunately some do not care, they do not care that their posts may be being read by people whose first language is not English and may struggle to make sense of the incorrect use of such as
Their and there
Where and were
Your and you're

These aren't typos but pure lazy ignorance.

[Brianwarnock]

I'm sorry but I don't agree, their and there are two entirely different words that just happen to sound the same like grate and great.

Their is a possessive pronoun, there can be an adverb or a pronoun , but references a place.

As too the difference in spelling between the US and UK for many words I believe that is a result of deliberate action in the late 19th century in the US. To remove unnecessary letters.
, hence we spell traveller and you traveler

[Brianwarnock]

We can and will all make mistakes, we are talking about basics here and not caring to get them right, and as I said there are people on here whose first language is not English, we should do our best to help them, not confuse them.

[Brianwarnock]

>>>To remove unnecessary vowels<<

Don't ring true...

Sounds more like some illiterate American got the spelling wrong.

Because why not do it properly and remove ALL the unnecessary letters?

Because why not do it properly and remove AL the unnecesary leters?

Tony I edited my post but you had moved on, but if there are still unnecessary letters I can not answer as I do not know all of your words or what the remit of the review was.
