Re: M&M? Whats Your Opinion?
Actually, I believe you have to be BETTER at spelling. You have to have all the correct letters(just not necessarily in the right order).royjohn wrote:Wow, tihs si gerat nwes, gald ot konw I dnot hvae ot selpl ro pnuctaute eny mo.

Re: M&M? Whats Your Opinion?
Hmmm.... according to this... in this case... Grandpa should be capitalized. I often wondered about that and just had to do a search!

Re: M&M? Whats Your Opinion?
I guess the thread is sufficiently derailed to mention that words like grandpa, president, etc. are capitalized when used as or as part of a proper name. When they are merely descriptive, they are not.
E.g. -- We saw President Roosevelt at supper. We saw the president at supper.

However, I might be willing to buy a used tuba imported by a dealer I wouldn't pay directly.
