I appreciate the updates! It's been awful being in the real world this week and missing so much of what's going on!
I tried to trick Nordlys into doing this, but she is too clever to fall for it.

Originally posted by RookRAKWe have an advantage though, there are people on this site who could act as coorespondants all over the world. Although if we can start with getting someone from outside New England that would be great.

Originally posted by RookRAKHow about a grammar fee? We start with a fee for every sentence that doesn't begin with a capital letter and every time the word I is wriiten with a lower case i. That alone would be enough to finance whatever we wish.

Originally posted by reader1107I like it ... except I'd be out a lot of money myself. Or I'd have to hire a proofreader, again costing me money.

If I had said "Bowmann, Nordlys, and myself", I think the penalty should have been $200 and a 6 month sentence.

Anyone who decides to correct other people's spelling mistakes has to pay a fee.
Originally posted by reader1107Would there also be a fee for writing 'i' instead of 't'?
