I corrected the above quote in red, as I used to do many years ago as a proofreader in my father's printing shop. I was a proofreader back in the Stone Age before the PC (i.e. personal computer) was invented. My father would hate it when I would walk up to his printing press and point out the typos in what he was printing. Of course, to his chagrin, I would point out that he should've had me proofread the job before printing it. I helped Igiss proofread and edit the news in one of the previous versions of the Discovery mod (4.85, I think) -- My forum name is still buried in the credits for that. I used to tease people so much around here regarding their typos that many started calling me a "Grammar Nazi" -- I even listed "Grammar Nazi" in my signature for years until a moderator changed my signature while I was inactive last year. Of course, I noticed your "sigh" typos right away, but others had already started teasing you before I checked out this thread. If I recall correctly, you repeated the same typo three or four times in your initial post, but you've already corrected those typos, as I couldn't find even one when I checked before writing this post.
Edit: Of course, I couldn't resist teasing you about your typos in both of my posts in this thread. Anyway, thank you for the lottery.

I do have a nasty habit of typing words the wrong way and believing it IS the right way. Not until someone notices them. So yeah. Thanks.
