BJ,
I realize you just have it in for me. I really don't care. But, for the record, your title "Government has ran education forever" so, which of those fine institutions taught you to speak like that? Use the past participle, Moron!!

But I think we also need to separate how someone may prepare official correspondence while at work, from how they might interact online. Many folks just have naturally fat fingers (or maybe fingernails that are too sharp) when using tiny keyboards on their phones, and for whatever reason don't take the time to READ what they have written before they SEND it. I think we ALL can fall victim to common mistakes as subject / verb tense and things like mistakenly interchanging "there" and "their" (as an example) from time to time.
I'm sure we would all be more careful, and provide more attention to detail, if we knew we were being graded or paid for our efforts.

We should only be concerned about the "content" of their ads, which is dictated by the ladies, and I don't see that it has changed (except for photos). But the "format" should be of no concern to us. Sure, it may look different, and some folks are naturally resistant to ANY kind of change.
Regarding the photos, it appears they are now limited to a maximum of four. I don't see why that limit can't be easily increased for those who choose to post additional photos.
However the main problem I have with the new photos is that they don't open as large as they did before, plus you must open and close each one separately; there is no provision to go from one photo to the next (using a PREV or NEXT button).
So, for example, to view 4 photos, it now takes 8 mouse-clicks; OPEN, CLOSE (repeated 4 times). Before it took only 5 mouse-clicks; OPEN, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, CLOSE.

FSU, UF. Every state has state colleges and public schools. I bet you are one of the trailer park living broke as pretend to be conservatives; that has no clue what conservative is and who they support. The more you post the more doubt you remove.
I bet you went to public school and we can all tell no college.

What with the general level of prose presented in these forums, I dismiss such niceties as soon as I log on. Hell! For that matter, the entire internet is a cesspool of misspelling, poor grammar, and feeble communication skills. LOL!

By the way, Backpage does 4.5 million a month in sales, they are doing something right.

That reminds me of a neighbor I had about 15 years ago. He came home one day with a new car and he let me take it out for a spin. It had this radio that was voice activated. If I said, "sports talk" it would switch to a sports talk station. If I said, "Country music", it switched to a Country station. As I was about to turn back into our subdivision some jerk cut me off almost forcing me into the ditch and I blurted out, "you dumb ass". The radio switched to Rush Limbaugh.

Posts: 206Somethings different
Maybe its me but since Admin in their infinite wisdom chose to remove our private selection of tasty treats and pushed our private group of SP's to the new classified site something has changed.
I very seldom saw these girls as I generally find a better selection elsewhere but I enjoyed going there and seeing what's new and felt a little affinity to them being local and yes I even found the occasional gem there like Mel1 L.
Now its just like going to BP even looks the same.
Just wondered if anybody else noticed the difference.

This is a case in point to follow. You owned up to what you did do. You stood up for yourself for what you didn't do. And you maintained a polite demeanor while offering a free session to make it up. Kudos love. I commend you on this.
Xoxo.

Public education. We should consider it an oxymoron. Right up there with jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.
And don't even get me started on the Affordable Care Act bull shit.
Just sayin'.

But I figured it was just an uneducated chick or pimp. It was just too obvious and I thought it was something more. Many ads on the page have bad grammar.

Basic subject / verb agreement.
Sheesh what is that country coming to?
