"X marks the spot"

Inspired by the camaraderie of the "Reviews that are wrong" thread, I thought maybe there's a place to point out simple things that can be corrcted easily and not risk having a review deleted (unless correcting the error results in a review that exceeds four words). I mean things like obviously unintentional punctuation, misspellings, missing spaces between words.
Why?
(1) I've noticed that pointing out problems in the fourum leads to getting them fixed fairly quickly;
(2) I saw one the other day and I was going to message the user, but I don't remember the film, though I remember the user, and since the user isn't in the top 100, there's virtually no way to find her;
(3) I noticed that noncentz has picked up on my propensity for numbered lists;
(4) But no one pays attention to list items exceeding three, so why are you reading this far anyway?
All of which is to say: Little Old Lady from Dubuque, did you mean to write "sthick" in your recent review, or did you mean "schtick"?
Also, I fear that some folks do not correct typos likely because they fear having to wait to have them reapproved. Mightn't there be some remedy for that?

No sooner did I post then not only figure out how to find who I was looking for, but I also remembered the movie "A Christmas Carol (2003)"

And I think the Little Old Lady from Dubuque is a bloke, according to the Who are we? thread.

At the risk of one of my top reviews being displaced by highlighting this great one, 'eyeful' is how it should be written.

Thanks benj, but 'Eyeful' still shouldn't have a hyphen in it.

Benj there's still a nicholas (in case that non-basinger item was included in "one and all"):
Nicholas's bad texas accent.
Henry Wilson
And come to think of it, if the possessive ends with an S should it just be Nicolas' ? |
