Bad English in the FAQ
Posted: 09 Jan 2004, 20:13
One FAQ question:
Cory's should be Corys (or Cories). Granted that the the word "cory" is not a proper noun, its plural form should not include an apostrophe. "Cory's" would mean either "Cory is" or "belonging to Cory", neither of which makes any sense in the context of the question.
"loose" should be "lose". Loose=not tight. Lose=to not retain.
Apologies for the English lesson.
Two mistakes:Why do Cory's loose their barbels?
