Yami, does being the leader of a grammar guild give you some kind of otherworldly eye for mistakes like this? eek

They don't have an excuse either. While alt tags don't work with all browsers they do support all kinds of characters.

I thought to myself, "Maybe the scripts wouldn't allow for an apostrophe," but then I noticed that there is an 's in the "View Journal" link...interesting.

I honestly would have never noticed that. Wow. That's like... wow.

(Yes, I realize that statement is not very grammatically correct, but I don't care right now.)

Seriously, you seem to have an uncanny ability for this kind of stuff. It's... freaky...

Wouldn't really surprise me. We're all allowed to have weird little past-times, no? At least this one is mentally productive. whee

I wonder how many mistakes like that that are on this website.

I can't even begin to hazard a guess. If they're in such discrete places, they could be anywhere.

Actually, I'm ashamed of myself for not noticing it earlier since I've been on Gaia Online for almost three years now.

Actually, yes I do. Whenever I read a story on Fanfiction.net (that cesspool of grammatical inanity), I end up noticing so many spelling and punctuation errors, I end up twitching and generally cannot enjoy the story.

I know that feeling and sympathize with you completely. The inanity mercilessly assaults the brain to the point of experiencing physical pain. It's really hard to find good fanfiction these days... -sighs and sniffs sadly-

It's not really a mistake. You can't put apostrophes at times, for coding purposes.

Stabs you in the eyes, but hell--nothing anyone can do about it. neutral

I think because of this I have become more aware of mistakes found on the site.

Go to Gambino's Outfitters. Click on one of the skull hairpins for the description. I think they meant "avant garde" instead of "avast garde."
