I probably went a bit over the top suggesting the 'demise of standards in modern' life was due to people not being bothered by spelling mistakes in books.

You DID NOT go over the top at all. I agree with you completely. In the old times they didn't even have spell checker programs and they still did a better job than editors do today.Ant wrote:With all the technology we have at our fingertips today, I just think it is incredibly poor to come across mistakes especially in published works.

I'll never be MOTM hahaha no but I'm curious to know how it actually works, someone already probably explained and I'm way too new in the community to be selected, but it's a fun little trick. I always notice Lincoln's gold nickname hahaDATo wrote: ↑19 Aug 2016, 18:03

Don't give up hope. They also choose MOTMs for their contributions to the forums. I will never know why I was chosen. The moderators may have been drinking too much vino on the day they selected me.
