right here in River Cityhere is what happened. I tried to type this post using a small I, but the grammar police automatically changed the small I to a big I without my permission. Now..if I want a small I (I) note ...I cannot use it even when I put it in (I) like I just did..it automatically changes it to a big I ...so try it ...now the spelling police are here too...it kinda changes a word that it knows is spelled wrong, to the correct spelling........................................................ or..it underlines the word in red to tell me I got it wrong..
so?????????????????????????? thank you.....

(4,243 posts)3. Let me see what happens when I post
a small i instead of a big i. Nope, it doesn't underline it in red or anything, it just leaves it alone. If I use it in a contraction, such as i'm or i'll it underlines it in red if the i isn't capitalized. I'm using firefox, by the way.
