It really bothers me that they swithed the font and the font size,
Calibri is definitely inferior.
Houston Texans: 1 Playoff Win.
Vince Young, Dunta Robinson, and Jason Babin: 0 Combined Playoff Wins.
Could be worse.
Could have been in Comic Sans.
Former Thane of Glamis and Cawdor.
Despite my better judgment, a manager at Battle Red Blog.
Supreme Galactic Editor of Battle Red Onion.

Also because my mothers failjng health is keeping more to stay at home to keep her alive.
It would be a awesome job!
That was a thing? Shit, do they still do that?
If I made $25 for each typo I spotted, I’d have at least $1000.

Which wasnt the reason why they loss the USA Today contact....
Bunch of drug crack addict infest them when I was sober when they rehired me, yeah I hope usa today gannett see’s this they should of hired me, the problem was westwood communication crp that destroy’d the usatoday contract! I’m sorry for bringing this subject up, but I want usa today to realize I loved & hoped to be a contract site or reporter, but the hcn crap paper didnt care! I know that this isnt sports related but seriously I wasted 15yrs of my life with no paid college to get the job, and got fired for missing only the 1 day in a full year, working 5 10’s! So you people will realize my passion for sports called at 5-6am in houston all the time as Steve in Pasadena!
typo contract
sorry for typos, caused by speaker jack needs to be upright, yes you don’t care!
I’ll shut up go TEXANS!
dude
I seriously can’t understand a fucking thing you type. no offense, it’s just been 3 threads now. then instead of than, no punctuation, and all kinds of shit. not trying to go all 2DH on you for the grammar, but damn. it’s tough reading.

Agreed. It's hard to prove the merit of a poster who claims to be a proofreader
when you see there instead of their (when “their” would have been more appropriate).
“Should of” ? Good god! Where did you go to school? Didn’t they teach you there was no such phrase? “Should of” = “Should HAVE” or “should’ve” if you choose to abbreviate.
Unless said proofreader is is claiming foul because the dictation program is stuffing it up. In which case, why use a dictation program? Either train the damn program to type “should’ve” OR just use the tried and true keyboard =P.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered if the writers for the Comicle use some kind of dictation program and then they don’t proof their articles for transcription accuracy and correctness.

goin' out on a limb
I don’t think that’s why they fired you. reread your posts. i’m no english major, but it might have been your complete butchering of the queen’s english.

America doesn't have a Queen, the last I heard!
Unlike England or the UK…. Whatever they call it the fallen empire…
i'm just giving you shit brother
no hard feelings man. I didn’t mean to offend. I just figured you were drunk or something. personally, I have to stay away from BRB when drinking, or everyone will suffer my diarrhea of the mouth. once again, just poking fun. go texans!

I'd love an edit command too
In fairness, I am quite confused by the posts and story, but it sounds as though it didn’t go well.
yep I totally decided not to bother reading more of wizteknet's posts until they become more informative/logical
If it doesn’t make sense the first time I read it, I’m not going back to make sense of it.

this is BRB's sly trick to make us better proofreaders the first time around ;-)
and yes I’d love to have an edit button.
BUT here’s what happens when you have an edit button. If/when you get to flame wars, people go back and revise their posts to make themselves look good and by consequence they make the posters after them look like idiots – when they seemed totally sane in the context of the dialog before said poster edited their “mistake”.
In an effort to keep the threads sane, I think they just opt to not allow us the “revisionist history” button formerly known as the “edit” button.
SO the consequence is that only those who author a fanpost or fanshot get to edit their mistakes the rest of are relegated to “reply” buttons ;-)
