The Manbottle Library

Errata

Got this in the old inbox today...


Name:    Orinthal J. Simpson
e-mail:  oj@ikillednicole.com

Your page titled "Know any brave forklift driver's" suffers from needless apostrophe syndrome.  That is, since the word drivers is plural, not possessive, you need not apostrophe.


Of course, Orinthal is right.  (The editor must have been hung over that day.)  There are a number of little errors like that scattered throughout the library.

I posted this mainly to let you all know that I do keep track of them.  Not that they will be fixed anytime soon, but I do keep track of them.  (The Library does seem to attract a number of people with a, shall we say, an unusual fondness of the intricacies of the English language.)

At this point I'm saving up the corrections for the release of Manbottle v2.0 (coming very very soon, by the way), when it will be much easier to update these things on-the-fly than it is today.  (It really is much more of a chore than you could imagine.)

I also posted this because that is by far the best fake email address I've seen in weeks.  Thanks Mr. S!
