Latest Newsletter (Las Vegas)

I noticed recently that there was some criticism of ABers who criticise other ABers for bad grammar, spelling, or punctuation. However, I'm going to go ahead and say the the article on Las Vegas gives "casino's" for the plural of "casino". I expect better from the editors of the Answerbank. There seems to be no other, more private, way to point this out.
About the criticism - yes, sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it could by a typing mistake rather than a spelling mistake, but in certain categories - such as Phrases and Sayings - correct spelling, punctuation and grammar seem to me appropiate.

Thanks, warpig3. I don't know why I didn't think of that.

And.....in all fairness it wasn't Ed or the techy team who were/are critical of bad spelling or grammar, that was done by fellow ABers.

Since the newsletter is a public document, I see no harm in the criticism being public as well since you don't have access to the AnsweBank's emailing list. I am led to believe that it will 'shortly' be available to anyone in the archives.

Also, if mistakes aren't pointed out, then how will we learn. They say you learn from your mistakes.

By the way, I imagine there are many people looking at your post and wondering what is wrong with it. Hopefully, they will learn as well from the experience.
