    Default Grammar Police

    I just noticed that the description under the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum says something to the effect of place for members to .... 'there' wares. This should read 'their' wares.

    Not earth shattering, but in a high class forum such as SRP...we should strive for perfection in all things, not just our daily shaves.

    'their wares' is correct. I'm a bit of a stickler for grammer, also.

    I have horrible grammar, but now that Ed has brought it up, this is bothering me too! I tried to fix it, but I dont have the correct permissions to edit the description of a forum only the contents of a forum....Maybe Dave, Joe or Lynn can modify the wording if you ask really nice?

    Anyway, I'm glad we got that fixed. I was beginning to think it should be "They're Wheres?"
