So this has ALWAYS been a pet peeve of mine; since the beginning of my Sleuthing.

*NOTE: This is not as big of one as the waiter/waitress 'fiasco' was*


Take a look at Sleuth Admin's detective page, for example.

"Politics
Order o Socrates: Good(10)
Arcanum Brthrhd: Good(10)
Cosa Nostra: Poor(-3)
Eastern Triads: Good(10)
Circle of Light: Poor(-2)
Green Hand: Good(10) "

Notice that of is "o", not "of" in Order of Socrates
Notice that Brotherhood is shortened, and the word Dies is completely absent
"La" is missing in La Cosa Nostra
Isn't it "The" Green Hand, "The" Eastern Triads?


Now I know this was done because of margin widths, but can it not be fixed in any way? It's not only annoying, but also can be confusing as to what the factions are called. Perhaps they could even be shortened to just OS, LCN, DAB, GH, CoL, and ET? (Although that would be very confusing as well)



Just something that's always bothered me.

Leddy, I agree... the female bathrooms....very annoying. Especially when u've had one too many, and u REALLY have to go. One time, I was standing in a line that was a "mile" long, and I was very drunk...and very annoyed. I told the girl in front of me, that women are so stupid. All they do is go in there and talk, and flip their hair around in the damn mirror, and talk about the cute guy sitting at the next table. Its stupid! Glad I am not like that lol (the standing in there talking, and flipping hair around) I take a quick look, while Im washing hands, and out the door I go. Gawd!

So, after that, my fiance' walked me into the mens bathroom, so I could use it. I was too drunk, and had to go too bad to give a crap :) One guy going bathroom just looks over his shoulder, real casual, and says, "Women bathroom lined up huh?" Im like Yup, and kept on walking. *shakes head at self*

Committed Forty Murders

I have revealed cfm?s identity. I must leave before she discovers that I have uncovered her past crimes. She tends to be very punctual in checking the boards, so I don?t have long to live.
