Good Heavens! Dunnow which one got up on the wrong side of the bed
this morn' but pray thee, go back and start over.
I must agree here with Diane. When writing a web address, it is very
important to write the exact address. This is not only because
newbies will not know how to interpret your URL the way you have it
written now, but many email programs allow the reader to simply press
'enter' on the email address and the web browser which is connected to
your email will take you directly to that web site. Therefore, if you
write an URL incorrectly, all your readers will be frustrated because
they can not get the information you're trying to convey.
Computers, unlike humans, are literal beasties, and if you don't tell
them exactly what you want them to do, making sure to say every word
correctly, they will just look at you and say, "Huh? This page can
not be found. Please check the URL and try again..."
Besides, everyone makes mistakes all the time. I'll bet you make at
least one a day. I know I do. So, don't have a hissy fit, just grin
ruefully and throw up your hands and plead human! Nobody's perfect
but God. We keep tryin' and He loves us anyhow.
Because this whole thread revolves around an actress, I was reminded of:
JAQUES But, for the seventh cause; how did you find the
quarrel on the seventh cause?
TOUCHSTONE Upon a lie seven times removed:--bear your body more
seeming, Audrey:--as thus, sir. I did dislike the
cut of a certain courtier's beard: he sent me word,
if I said his beard was not cut well, he was in the
mind it was: this is called the Retort Courteous.
If I sent him word again 'it was not well cut,' he
would send me word, he cut it to please himself:
this is called the Quip Modest. If again 'it was
not well cut,' he disabled my judgment: this is
called the Reply Churlish. If again 'it was not
well cut,' he would answer, I spake not true: this
is called the Reproof Valiant. If again 'it was not
well cut,' he would say I lied: this is called the
Counter-cheque Quarrelsome: and so to the Lie
Circumstantial and the Lie Direct.
