I often find spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in books. The biggest one being "till". I've said this before, when you mean the shortened form of "until", it must be spelt like this "'til". Because it is an abbreviation. It has an apostrophe and one "l", as the work "until" does.

I think you meant "word" ;)

NE, I think so. I get paid a buck for the first 100+ word post I do every day, then 2 cents for every view or comment (now i dont remember) for the blog, and $1.50 for every 1000 views of my article(s) from associated content, so both must have a way to track how often it gets looked at.


Although if my time spent over at cracked.com has taught me anything, its to keep your eyes peeled for plagarism. Several of the writers over there have had their stuff copied without credit by other sites.

word to the wise, if you ever copy and paste from cracked.com, give them credit. You will get a nasty email if you dont.
