Mint cuts returns window from 30 to 7 days

I can see the phone lines being tied up even longer to speak to a real person. Wonder if the Customer Sevice Rep is located here in the United States or some place else? |

It's better to spend a minute or two proofreading your posts *before* you hit the Send button rather than after. 2. Unless the error is an important misstatement of fact, don't bother coming back after the fact to correct a minor typo, etc. Except for a certain NetKop here who has it in for you, nobody cares about minor errors. All you do is call attention to your mistake and annoy your readers. 3. When you do make a correction, get the correction right! |

Thirty-three years of grading papers from high school kids did it to me. The French refer to my syndrome as "déformation professionnelle." And now I must proofread this, lest I fulfill Skitt's Law.

Not at all, James. Unless you are the real culprit posting under yet another nym and persona, you're not even close to the one I had in mind. I was referring to our Jekyll and Hyde regular & part-time book seller who apparently forgets to take his meds from time to time and becomes quite abusive. When your pedantic background compels a corrective response, you handle it with diplomacy, erudition, and wit. |

Mint cuts returns window from 30 to 7 days - OT to Muphry's Law
"Jud" wrote in message ... Mr. Jaggers wrote: And now I must proofread this, lest I fulfill Skitt's Law. James Made me look that one up! I was unawares of it! (Error intentional) He made me peek, too. Wikipedia lists Muphry's Law (the spelling is an intentional self-referential error) and: "A similar law: "McKean's Law: Any correction of the speech or writing of others will contain at least one grammatical, spelling, or typographical error" has been set out by lexicographer Erin McKean. "Similar laws have also been coined, usually in the context of online communication, under the names of Skitt's Law, Hartman's Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation (or The Law of Prescriptive Retaliation), Bell's First Law of Usenet, Moen's Law of Corrections, Tober's lor, Gaudere's Law, Naruki's Law and Greenrd's Law, and it has also been called Merphy's law." Who knew there were so many neologists working that particular turf? I guess they're all going to have to battle it out in court to see who gets the legally enforceable claim to the naming rights. :-D |
