Be nice if he could even spell the name of the place correctly. It's Thirlmere. Sheesh.

Re: Do you appreciate people correcting typos in your listing?
It really annoys me when I hear people say
"I'm bored of that."
"What a fun thing to do."
and similar grammatically incorrect phrases, but it boils down to the fact that we are seeing the language evolve and at some point these glaringly incorrect phrases will suddenly be correct through common usage.

The worst thing about these HTML markups, is that the font size change breaks the horizontal scrolling on the Geocaching app, so you have to scroll left and right on every line to read previous logs.GammaPiSigma wrote:Brilliant, funniest thing I have read all day.SamWalkers wrote:What I really hate is < font size="3">< b>w< font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">hen < font color="#000066">somebody uses < font color="#FF0000">embedded html to < i>fancy up their comments but < i>miss part of the mark up and turn their comments into an illegible jumble.

The only grammatical advice I have given was when a possessive apostrophe was missing from the cache title. It was well received.
