Default Point of Order

Ok it's that time of year again. You can call me a jerk or an a-hole but it is time to remind everyone that:

It is called Sumter Landing not Sumpter AND

It is called Cane Garden not Cain


I know it's picky but please help my OCD

Ah yes, I may be dumb as a rock and an ex cheerleader but I can always catch OTHER people's spelling errors. I too am a bit OCD.

I thought it was a rhetorical question. Sorry for not responding.

We all know the correct answer - don't we??

LS vs SS

Gee Russ, didn't you get the Memorandum of Change Notice? Maybe they took you off the mailing list.
Oh well.

So Russ, is it pronounced Bwoston or Bosston?

And good luck with trying to get everyone on the right track... I'm sure after your reminder no one will use the spellings Sumpter or Cain EVER again.

Talking Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I will visit Sumpter Landing after I leave Cain Gardening and then off to Spanish Springers to see the lining dancers perform. I will go to Cathie Bales before I drive my Gulf Cart to Lauries Manners.
Hope all have a Happy and Safy New Year..
