If you pledged $5,000 or more to the proposed blimp PAC that never came
be, and purchase $5,000 or more of timeshare advertising time on the Ron
Paul Blimp before 12:00 noon EST on Monday, December 3, you will have
the option do designate your choice of recipient for your two seats, or
you may ride the blimp yourself for one hour. This offer is being
extended only to email accounts that have already pledged $5,000 or more
to the proposed blimp PAC, and will expire on Monday, December 3, at
12:00 noon EST.


The problem is in the 4th line...
"the option TO designate..."

Potential Donor question - you still have "passanger" instead of "passenger"






That's it... for now...

You mean grammar? ;)

I agree that those spelling errors should be fixed ASAP though; they make the project look unprofessional (of course, it is unprofessional because it's a grassroots effort, but you know what I mean).

Seriously? You are going to be a jerk about a mis-type, and you spell "grammar", "grammer"?

Come on dude...

Yup.
I'll be a jerk.

They asked for comments and corrections earlier.
I posted them in another thread.

They changed the FAQ page (where the errors were) and didn't correct passanger.

I'm not perfect.
I'm just giving them feedback on how to do a quick fix to make things look better... Per their request from earlier.


I won't pick on people who don't ask for it.
This wasn't meant to be insulting - it was meant to be helpful.

I think he was just trying to help.

Nothing in his post was condenscending or rude.

I missed that one =(


No - I wasn't trying to be rude.

I generally don't.


I'd gone to work, a few hours had passed, the page I'd cited errors on prior to leaving for work had been changed - but some of the errors were still there.


If they hadn't asked for help I wouldn't have said anything.
The majority of the complaints about the website were for misspelled words.
I was just trying to make the fix quick and painless.

Whatever.
I don't take it personally.
I've been around online a bit.
I know how it goes.

My sarcasm gets me into trouble sometimes.
Alas... that's life.

How did you get to that page on the site?

I can not find a link to it. I think I may be missing it or something.

That seems to be a page that people REALLY need to see, especially those who are not aware of the changes.

Thanks! :)

Spelling is VERY important in professional campaigns like the blimp project.

And pointing out a typo in the typo corrections presented in this thread only makes you look like an ass. This thread isn't going on the side of the blimp, or officially representing the blimp.

Speaking of typos, on the "transparency" page, there is another typo I havent seen mentioned here yet:


we are goint to attempt to

I fixed the 2 typos and removed the one page that was not linked to.

The info on the unlinked page was not accurate.

Thank you for pointing these out.
