In the early 1970's, the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, among a group of about a dozen pot smoking students who called themselves the Waldos. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke marijuana. Intent on developing their own discreet lingo, they made 420 code for a time to get high, and its use spread among members of an entire generation.
It eventually became a national date for the smokers to light up their joints.
At least what I have heard.
"Dear Jane,
I was delighted to read you’re letter last week. Its always a pleasure to recieve the latest news and to here that you and your family had a great summer.
We spent last week at the beach and had so much fun on the sand and in the water exploring the coast we weren’t prepared for the rains that came at the end of the vacation. The best parts of the trip was the opportunities to sightsee and relax.
My kids are back in school to. I find their are less things to worry about now that the kids are at school all day. There is plenty of fun things to do in the summer, but by August, I’ve running out of ideas. I’ve excepted the fact that we’ll have to think up brand-new activities next summer; hoping to round up some creative ideas soon.
Thanks again for your letter!
Sincerely, Karen"
1. No quote mark before Dear & after Karen
2. "to read you're letter" should be "to read your letter"
3. Its should be It's
4. recieve should be receive
5. should be a period after "coast."
6. "We" should be capitalized.
7. "...of the trip were/not was the opportunities.."
8. "...in school too/not to".
9. "..I find there/not their are less things..."
10. "There are/not is plenty of..."
11. "but by August, I'm/not I've running..."
12. "I've accepted/not excepted the fact.."
13. no hyphen in "brand-new", it's 2 words
14. Karen should be under Sincerely, not on same line
15. "...pleasure to here/should be hear that you..."
That's my 15? Hope that made sense the way I had to do it.
thanks for the chance to remember my editing skills.
(between 4 and 5)
- hear, not here
(between 6 and 7)
- rain, not rains
Wait... did you change your last one, 15? Eh, fuck it.
Other than that, it looks like you got them all.
Too much like being at work.
1. “You’re” – The contraction “you’re” means “you are.” The word “your” should be used with a noun to indicate possession, as in “your letter.”
2. “Its” – “Its” is a word indicating possession, as in “its wheels.” “It’s” is a contraction meaning “it is.” This sentence should read “It’s always a pleasure…”
3. “Recieve” – You’ll need to use the “I before E except after C” rule to find the correct spelling of “receive” here.
4. “Here” – “Here” indicates location. The writer should have used the homonym “hear,” which indicates listening.
5. The third sentence is a run-on sentence – A period or a comma and conjunction would make a big difference in the readability of the phrase.
6. Subject-verb agreement – The subject of the sentence is “parts” (which is plural) and the verb is “was” (which is singular). The sentence should read, “The best parts of the vacation were…”
7. “To” – “To” is a preposition, as in “to the beach.” Here, the writer should use “too,” meaning also.
8. “Their” – “Their” is possessive. “They’re” means “they are.” In this case, the writer should use the third homonym, “there.”
9. “Less” – “Less” should be used with an amount that you can’t count, as in “less money” or “less animosity.” The word “fewer” should be used with amounts that you can count, as in “fewer things,” “fewer items,” or “fewer stores.”
10. Subject-verb agreement – “Is” is a singular verb. In this sentence, the verb should be plural, as in: “There are plenty of fun things to do…”
11. “I’ve running” – This verb should be “I am running” or “I have run.” With contractions, “I’m running” or “I’ve run.”
12. Incorrect word usage – The writer should have used the word “accepted” instead of “excepted.”
13. Incorrect semi-colon usage – A semi-colon should be used between two related complete sentences, i.e. two connected independent clauses.
Oh, frick! I messed up, there were only 13 errors, not 15 as I indicated. So sorry.
you're -> your
Its -> It's
Dear Jane, -> Dear Jane:
recieve -> receive
here - hear
exploring the coast we -> exploring the coast. We
trip was the opportunities -> trip were the opporunitiies
to -> too
to worry about now that the kids -> to worry about now, that the kids (add a comma)
their is plenty of fun -> there are plenty of fun
I've running -> I've run
excepted -> accepted
brand-new -> brand new
; - , (Not sure about the semicolon. I would break up the sentence or maybe a comma)

Oops
Bored Scientists Have Worked Out Why Your Dog Stares At You While Pooping
Steve Charnock
August 1, 2017 12:55 pm
If you’re anything like us, then you’ll be almost as big a fan of science as you are of dogs. So you might well have wondered like we have… Why do dogs insist on looking at you so intently when they’re doing their business? It’s true, isn’t it? While pooping, a canine will fix a stare right into you soul. It’s weird.
Well, now some (presumably pretty bored) scientists have come up with an answer. A team of animal behaviorists have researched it and think they’ve discovered the reason. It’s all about the squad having their back, you see. That’s right. They’re checking to see if you – the pack leader – is looking out for them.
Think about it. You and you dog(s) are a little gang in their mind. When crimping one out, your pooch is at its most vulnerable. It can’t run or fight or really do anything much beyond depositing a little home-brewed compost. So it needs to know they you’re spotting him or her and looking out for rivals and that. Cool, huh?
As far as going to the restroom in a group or in pairs, I did it when I was younger and as I recall, it was mainly to "gossip".

Don't know why they ***** out s-e-c-r-e-t
No, you're absolutely correct, women "hiss"!

This is rating; "at the moment it's roughly like this: meaningful image comment = 50, short image comment = 10, image vote = 7, meaningful private message = 3 and "excitement like" = 2"
It's baffled me how members could consistently achieve ratings of 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 all the way up to 8,000+ rating. I studied one member and found that they were commenting but it didn't appear that they voted. I figured that it had to do with the "meaningful image comment" which could boost your rating by 50 points. Having an inquiring mind, I contacted admin about this and of course, was asked prove this by posting a comment on a picture. I did so and I believe at that time my rating jumped by 5. Admin tells me my comment was too short. I go back to the same picture make a different comment, but make it longer. Again, rating jumped by 5 and again, I'm advised that my comment was too short.
I've got to wonder, what in the frick is a meaningful comment? I gather that a bunch of these
Seriously, is that what is considered long enough and meaningful enough? Yike! Anything much longer than a few words is CREEPY!

I asked the same question. What qualifies as a meaningful comment. There must be certain words and length that the system picks up on. I sure would like to know what they are?
I know you asked but like I said, I was baffled to see members with 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 and 8,000+ activity levels and one member I observed hadn't commented as many times as I had, nor did they appear to vote, so I specifically asked. admin did say there was a glitch which he fixed.....apparently, what was wrong was that I point out that a member was able to jump more than 1,000 points in 5 hours, or so. I suspect the real problem was that I could actually SEE this happening. One of the adjustments he made is that what you do is held in the site "clouds" until midnight or 01:00 and calculations are then dumped.
Hmmmmmm......Are my messages considered meaningful when I contact a member regarding them being referred for deletion? Are my messages considered meaningful when I respond to or initiate a conversation? Gosh, I'm going to have to discreetly use this evaluation process to assess people in my everyday life!
But really I don't much care. I did get one exciting meter badge but I have no idea why.
I haven't spent a lot of time here but when I do I just want to enjoy myself.
