<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2718580, member: 19250&quot;]I totally&nbsp; understand&nbsp; and agree&nbsp; with your&nbsp; statements . I myself yesterday&nbsp; was corrected&nbsp; on grammar&nbsp; in a post and did reply to the poster.</p><p>In this case I believe&nbsp; that&nbsp; it was done not to be little&nbsp; another member&nbsp;&nbsp; but to correct&nbsp; the poster to the proper terms used in coin collecting .</p><p>First of&nbsp; all&nbsp; every member&nbsp; here on this site are human and subject&nbsp; to&nbsp; error.... so leveling&nbsp; it out no one&nbsp; is perfect .</p><p>Depending&nbsp; on&nbsp; the&nbsp; area you come from sayings and words have different&nbsp; meanings.</p><p>Members&nbsp; from other countries&nbsp; may misunderstand&nbsp; the meaning&nbsp; of American&nbsp; slang&#039;s.</p><p>I can think of several British&nbsp; sayings&nbsp; some that cannot&nbsp; be posted here as some may take offense&nbsp; even though&nbsp; they are truly harmless&nbsp; sayings.</p><p>Every&nbsp; poster has a right to post to the best of their ability&nbsp; questions&nbsp; in a fashion&nbsp; that doesn&#039;t&nbsp; break the rules , or offend other members.</p><p>Just because&nbsp; a member&nbsp; doesn&#039;t&nbsp; use proper&nbsp; language&nbsp; skills they shouldn&#039;t&nbsp; be put down.</p><p>As my later mother would say if you can&#039;t&nbsp; say something&nbsp; nice best not to say anything .</p><p>However&nbsp; teaching&nbsp; a new member&nbsp; a correct&nbsp; term in the hobby isn&#039;t&nbsp; a put down....it&#039;s&nbsp; a&nbsp; way to make the new person aware of terms used in the hobby so they won&#039;t&nbsp; become frustrated&nbsp; and not feel welcome to post and ask and learn more.</p><p>I&#039;m&nbsp; relatively&nbsp; sure most members here disagree&nbsp; on a lot of things.....however&nbsp; there&#039;s&nbsp; one thing that I be willing&nbsp; to&nbsp; bet .&nbsp; That is the love of this hobby, the passion to keep it going,and mostly to accept and welcome new members to enjoy the same passions&nbsp; we do as collectors .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
