Duane:
Hello Rush
03-27 18:27
Rush:
Grettings, Duane!
How are you doing this evening?
03-27 18:28
Duane:
I am fine.how are you
03-27 18:28
Rush:
Had a pretty good Monday, thank you!
03-27 18:30
Rush:
I received the new Charlie Chan book in the mail today. We have talked about it on the Message Board.
Interesting after just starting it, but it has issues with “typos.”
03-27 18:30
Matt:
Hello Rush & Duane!
03-27 18:31
Duane:
That is great
Hello Matt
03-27 18:31
Rush:
I can’t imagine how those made it through any kind of proof reading!
Hello, Matt!
Good evening to you!
03-27 18:31
Matt:
And to you both
I was reading the Message Board about the book, as well as on FB
03-27 18:32
Rush:
On Facebook also?
Is it GS’s page?
03-27 18:33
Matt:
Kind of a risqué cover
Not sure, I’m on a few Chan sites there
03-27 18:33
Rush:
Yeah…and there are bits of that inside already.
Along with, as I noted to Duane, “typos, etc.”
03-27 18:33
Matt:
So far, not so good?
03-27 18:34
Rush:
Well, I just read through the first two chapters, bith short, and the over all story seems to have possibilities.
03-27 18:34
Matt:
Can’t wait to hear your review
03-27 18:34
Rush:
I am not clear as to when the author is placing the story and Chan.
03-27 18:35
Matt:
Hello Hounder!
03-27 18:35
Rush:
It seems to place him a bit later in time than we are used to.
Hello, Hounder!
03-27 18:35
Duane:
Hello hounder
03-27 18:35
Rush:
WELCOME!
03-27 18:35
hounder:
hi matt rush and duane
03-27 18:36
Rush:
How has your mother been doing, Hounder?
03-27 18:36
hounder:
she had a pretty good day thanks.
03-27 18:36
Matt:
Always good to hear
03-27 18:37
Duane:
That is good to hear
03-27 18:37
Rush:
Good to hear, Hounder!
03-27 18:37
Louise:
Hello all. Ready for the Olympics?
03-27 18:37
Rush:
AH! Louise!
03-27 18:37
Matt:
Hello Louise!
03-27 18:37
Duane:
Hello Louise
03-27 18:37
Rush:
yes, ready to follow Chan to Berlin!
03-27 18:37
Louise:
Rush, how do you think the author of that new book got permission to use the Chan character?
03-27 18:38
Matt:
Going for the GOLD
03-27 18:38
Rush:
Good question!
I didn’t see any copyright information in the book about permission.
03-27 18:39
Louise:
Rush: we should find out. If the character is now public domain that opens up lots of possibilities !
03-27 18:39
hounder:
hi louise
03-27 18:39
Louise:
hi hounder
03-27 18:39
Rush:
I know that that was just over the proverbial horizon…
maybe it has happened.
03-27 18:40
Louise:
Cheer5s to all the rest of the crew
03-27 18:40
Louise:
I am going to be in an Olympic competition today: popcorn eating!
03-27 18:40
hounder:
i like it louise.
03-27 18:41
Rush:
I received my copy today, and, there are MANY “typos” and grammatical issues.
In just the first two chapters.
Sad to say.
03-27 18:41
Matt:
That is sad
03-27 18:41
Rush:
It seems that it went to press without any proofreading prior to publising!
03-27 18:42
Rush:
Lots of words that should have been plural were somehow singular.
03-27 18:42
hounder:
that’s a shame rush
03-27 18:42
Rush:
Iyes.
(Yes)
03-27 18:43
Matt:
That would drive me crazy
03-27 18:43
Rush:
Frustrating!
Heck, we could have volunteered to proof the story!
03-27 18:43
Louise:
As someone who has published several books and spent many hours proof reading, this would drive me nuts.
03-27 18:43
hounder:
proofreading is harder than it looks. and autocorrect is not your friend
03-27 18:43
Matt:
That would have been a fun group assignment!
Hello M & R!
03-27 18:44
hounder:
hi m n r
03-27 18:44
Rush:
Well, if and when you read the story, the errors are easy to spot.
Mike and Rachel!

03-27 18:45
Rush:
I am hoping that the story can be worth the erors!
03-27 18:45
Rush:

03-27 18:51
Rush:
The AXIS teams salute Hitler….
03-27 18:51
Louise:
notice how he holds his shaking arm
03-27 18:51
Mike n Rachel in DC:
actually, he’s there to SALUTE the athletes, not the other way around, Mr. Announcer
03-27 18:51
Rush:
As the AXIS teams salute Hitler…
03-27 18:52
Mike n Rachel in DC:
THAT’S what went wrong. They used pigeons to salute peace. Should have spent the extra money for doves.
03-27 18:52
Matt:
Think of the pressure of running up those steps
03-27 18:53

03-27 20:14
Phil:
If I’d have written that Louise, Rush would have asked me to leave.
03-27 20:14
Rush:
That was how I broke a wrist in junior high.
03-27 20:14

Good company Louise.
03-27 20:15
Louise:
I am of Polish descent…and I don’t get it
03-27 20:15
Rush:
“Checkmate.”
03-27 20:16
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I dunno…they’re falling 14′ into sawdust. Now it’s nearly 20′ drops. That seems scary.

How does it fail M&R
03-27 20:18
Rush:
it SHOULD be intersecting lines to one point.
03-27 20:19

the lines should CROSS at some point. That would be the source. They’ll make an X, not a triangle
03-27 20:19
Nothere:
Isn’t it South by Southwest?
03-27 20:19
