A proofread version of George Washington's Rules of Civility

1730's | George Washington

Any way you could copy and post your proofread version on this link first to get rid of those goofy symbols?

..and then possibly condense and re-post here? I’d love to print a copy.

The formatting is all messed up in the original post, and it makes me want to give up reading it.

So please cite where this comes from. Your claim that it is from Washington himself requires some sort of verification

I don’t know if “Rules of Civility” has any author listed on it. But Washington copied it word for word, and so his name is generally transferred to it when it is reposted.

I am so angry that freerepublic has not fixed this longstanding symbols problem.

Anyone who wants me to send a “pure” version, either post an email address, or “email” me an “email” address on my freerepublic mail account above and I’ll send you one.

I don’t know the first thing about programming, and find it just too hard to jump through all the hoops to try to do what I shouldn’t have to do.

Please cite where it is reported that Washington copied word for word

Many have to do with good posture, control of your own physical system, and treating other with respect.

Google links to Colonial Williamsnurg page with more history on it

It is a copy book assignment

You posted the LOCATION on your computer for that program. Not a link to the website where others can access it.

Worked for me when I copied and pasted it in the URL.

I don't see how that file location, or whatever it is, could take one to an internet site. I copied and pasted it into my url window and all I got was a "file could not be found" notice.

Don't walk on when others have stopped

Don't stop unannounced when others are walking and expect them to stop too.

bump for later

[Pontiac]

Being to advise or reprehend anyone, consider whether it ought to be in public, or in private, presently, or at some other time, in what terms to do it, and in reproving, show no sign of cholar, but do it with all sweetness and mildness.

I think the modern word here would be color. As in a face flush with anger.
