**et78** , I’m not a mod, obviously…but it is my topic/game, so would mind not changing things like categories or spellings, please? 🙂 When it’s your pick, you can name the category what you wish. And as for “correcting” spellings, you actually spelled “Dolores Claiborne” wrong, so I don’t think you’re as right as you think you are. 😛 Unless it’s an obvious mistake, I’d just go with the original copying.
