Hello
Sorry to bother you with my first post already, but it hurts me each time I see an apostrophe abused for a plural.
I am talking about the "Heli's".

thanks

If you're looking for an RC BB site that monitors and corrects improper grammar, syntax and punctuation then you'll not find it here.

I'm talking about the registration forms and profiles, I thought those were some kind of representation for the forum leaders and thus a simple orthographic mistake might look nonprofessional.

Anyway, happy posting

PS: Just tried spell check, I'm impressed.

Thanks, Webmaster-Owner-Administrator..., umm Marc
I was hoping you do care. Good.
I'm afraid, haven't spotted any mistake recently

If appreciated (or not), I may share my thoughts about this forum with you. Having a forum that covers the whole hobby of RC modeling is very impressive, but it seems to be an illusion that it could be the same as a specific forum in the section you're interested in. For example, if you're only interested in manufacturer X, then a forum dedicated to X may be better than this forum here. Of course, there are always advantages and disadvantages... .
I'm not trying to bash this forum, it's great to see the different kinds of models concentrated in one place.

keep up the good work

How about if you can customize the forums so you only see the ones you want here? If you like helis then what if you only saw heli forums (specifically the ones you wanted and no others) plus just the classifieds you wanted to see (heli only)...would that be better?

I don't see the plane and ship sections, the software already allows me to customize the forum.

Found another mistake: "New PM's". Have a look at http://www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk . Apostrophes are never ever used for plurals. Correctly spelt, it says PMs.

you are correct...I only fear without the apostrophe users may confuse what a PMs is.

Well, Tower Hobbies' customers seem to be better educated then

Who could guess what the following means (copied from www.TowerHobbies.com )
"Hobbico ARFs
Hobbico RTFs
HPI Cars & Trucks
Kyosho ARFs
Kyosho Mini-Zs"

I don't see a single apostrophe, very nice

PS: Not trying to be annoying, just wanted to post on this great forum again

Funny, he wrote "spelt" when complaining about improper grammar...

Yes, I wrote "spelt" because that's what every dictionary I've consulted told me.
You'd prefer "spelled" ? let's see what Leo says

I leave it there, no need to discuss AE and BE.
