Thought I’d better register and start contributing to some threads, seein’ as how y’all seem to have so much fun. Jus’ chicken I kin post correctly…

Oh, incidentally I think there’s a typo on the [faq](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php?action=faq#icons) - ‘messsage’ 🙂

[sub]Memo to self - Remember to put on pants next time.[/sub]

Are you having some trouble, PT? I’ve deleted two duplicates of this thread. You only need to hit the “Submit” button once. Somtimes the board reacts slowly, but please be assured your submittal has gone through. Hitting “Submit” multiple times can result in multiple posts.

Welcome to SDMB, **PT**.

Many citizens will be pleased that you are interested more than somewhat in grammatical matters, as such an attitude is greatly appreciated in these parts.

Furthermore, accuracy in all its forms is as welcome as you are, so I am asking you to be specific regarding the whereabouts of the typo you mention, as I do not wish to check FAQ line by line.

I hope and trust you will enjoy your stay on SDMB.

Um…yeah. :o But with my PC. I clicked the submit more than once because my browser crashed on me ☹ (nothing seemed to happen).

Still, at least it’s in the practise area - I’ve still got my stabilizers on.

\<holds up hands\> It was I, I submitted more than once :wally  
[sup]Hey these smilies are getting addictive[/sup]  
This time I’ll just click it once and then leave it well alone…

…I promise.

As to the whereabouts of the typo, Nostadamus, it’s in the heaing **What are messsage icons?**. Glad to be of service.
