I don’t mean to nit-pick, but shouldn’t it be “You’re” instead of “Your” ? Just askin’ ....

You know we have real opinions here on FR when the articles are posted as-is, and show absolutely no evidence of proof-reading.

:D

That’s the way it was posted. Sorry, but it’s still a very valid point.

Yes, such is the state of education in our nation that a headline is wrong.

LOL! "Hate to be a nitpicker, but here goes...."

It took a bit, but I got over myself enough that I no longer correct statements I am responding to and only ask clarification if my pea brain can't figure it out.

BTW, proper way to ask your question would have been to insert a comma after the word before the quote -- ...be, "You're..."

Of course, I take "poetic license" all the time and even use incomplete sentences a lot, so who am I to nitpick (which is also a valid word w/o the hyphen....)?????

Thanks for the opportunity to chill out a bit from the rst of the news....

Indeed. You have beaten me to it!

I am assuming that the error is in the original article, and not our FReeper FRiend’s!
