Thank you, Janet. Have a happy holiday!

Good idea.

During the Carter years, mortgage rates were so high, one couple was featured eating cat food just so they could make their payments. Of course, I don't remember those years personally. According to Amy, I'm much too young for that.

I thought I was the only one who loves using the alphabet to name characters: Ensign Ecks (X), Dr. Ess (S), and Lady Kay (K).

How about not knowing if the end of the book is going to blow up in my face? :-)

Although this thread has gone off the rails, I'm in the mood for fun. This may have already been suggested, but points could be proportional to the number of comments left. No minimums, no maximums. If you do a detailed review, whether regular or inline, you get more points than the lazy drive-by reviewers looking for a few quick points. That being said, I've only ever had one reviewer come in, leave five comments at the beginning, then bail saying that he had no helpful feedback to give. Had he left before leaving the fifth comment, I could have respected that. In my case, I've found reviewers who are very helpful to me and work hard to keep them. Since they do better reviews than I do (not for lack of trying), I reciprocate by reading more of their work than they do of mine.

Fire away.

I'm looking at it from my cell phone (Moto G). Everything seems cramped. Also, I'm surprised at the high price of the books. That must be for the printed copies. I didn't notice an explanation of pricing on the page, although it may be buried in all that red ink which I didn't read fully. Back to have another look...

It would probably require rebuilding online reviews from scratch to work with pdf files.

Actually, the use of macrons to denote long vowels dates back to the time of Ancient Rome, often used by the Greeks (not the Romans), who had trouble distinguishing long and short Latin vowels. They're found on papyri from that period. Most modern Latin textbooks and dictionaries use them, although primarily for pronounciation. Wikipedia does as well whenever giving Latin translations (e.g., the names/titles of Roman emperors). I prefer them as they add a bit of flair to the Latin words in my text.

I'm curious to know why IE/Wordperfect work and Google/Office don't. I would have expected the reverse.

You two make a cute couple.

Pfft to you both.
