I know it's not a big deal and we all make spelling and grammar mistakes but the name of the location in TV is called Lake Sumter Landing Market Square (or LSL or Market Square) not SumPter.

I'm a little compulsive at times I guess :joke:

And while we're at it let's remember the There, Their and They're deal we all learned in school. This isn't a text message forum.

Anybody else have any other suggestions besides let's call Russ a jerk?

hmmmmmm, anal comes to mind!

Just kidding Russ, really! ;D 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Maybe we can call it "poetic license" in a broad sense when chatting by writing rather than speaking. That's why we have professional tech writers and editors, Russ. You'd make a good one, however, your chosen path in the medical arena is something to be proud of doing.

Russ, I appreciate that you brought this up. I cringed every time I saw Sumpter. Reminded me of the Sump Pumps in basements I had up north many years ago. GGRRRRRR Anything that reminds me of that makes me ::. :chillout: 1rnfl oops, sorry to all my northern friends with sump pumps!!!

And never, ever end a sentence with a preposition!!!
Furthermore aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in
waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht
the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm.
Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but
the wrod as a wlohe.
Lastly, to quote a former boss, "I have learned you all I know and you still don't know nothing".
No, I didn't spell check this reply.

You're right downeaster I understood the whole thing just by scanning instead of literal reading.

[Rokinronda]

AND

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, dangle your preposition. : >

[Sidney Lanier]

The correct rule is:

You must never end a sentence a preposition with.

'-)

[Boomer]

And do not dangle your modifiers either.

Okay, a chance to mention my pet peeve .. P R I V I L E G E ... there is no D in privilege. Never was. Hopefully, never will be. It rates up there with nails on a blackboard (Sumpter was just a mild irritant).

Does that mean ending a sentence with "of" is okay? I know I'm frequently guilty of that one.

[livsea2]

Let them have their fun Russ but I am with you. The misuse of their, there, and they're bugs me as well. How about two, to, and two. Two is usually okay, but to and too, Forgettabouttit.

My name is also Russ and it drives me nuts when people spell it 'Sumpter'. It must have something to do with our first name.
And keep in mind that half the time when someone trys to spell out my first name, they use 'Russel' instead of 'Russell'. I have never met or heard of someone with a first name of 'Russel'. But that doesn't bother me. 'Sumpter' does! And before I forget,

Thanks, I feel so much better now that I've vented.
