Parallel Parking For The Novice Driver Quote | Reply

SUMMARY: This could be the most talked about maneuver amongst new drivers and their biggest fear, when it comes to driving. I have heard of stories how drivers elect to park one or two blocks away to avoid parking between two cars. The most important thing to consider when attempting a park between two vehicles is safety first.

Please have someone proof-read this piece. The grammar and spelling are not of publishable quality.

The most flagrant example, throughout the piece, is the use of "you're" when you mean "your." "You're" is a contraction for the phrase "you are" and "your" is an adjectice denoting possession.

Thank you.

Do you need a proof reader also? The word is spelled ADJECTIVE. Thank you for being so observant.

Too funny! The airbag just deployed out of my keyboard!

We (meaning those of us still here) didn't write those articles and can't take any responsibility for them. Nice fillers when the site was newer.

Excellent catch! Don't I look foolish! However, there are two problems: 1. someone (on this site?) changed my reply. My original had the word adjective spelled correctly; 2. Even if I did misspell it, an email should not be held up to the same scrutiny as a published article. And an obvious misspelling is altogether different than poor grammar throughout a published article.

Thanks for your diligence. Yours, allenhurst319

Nobody touched the reply or it show who, date and time it was done. I'll do it to this one just to show what it looks like. Any editing shows who at the bottom and that post shows nothing. You don't what was changed just that it was edited in some way,

(Now you can see below all the script that this post was edited by me. Other than mods you can only edit your own and perhaps only when registered and logged in?)

Since the article is so old, I think there was a secret conspiracy of hackers that go around and change the spelling on those articles. Could it be the guy who caught the mistake.................maybe

I'll bet you are right! It's the government! Have you seen those cameras at the stop lights? They tell the public that it's for traffic flow. Yeah, right. Now, they're messing with our spelling too! It is a conspiracy.
