especially when they see it's not even live type. And spare

me the instructions on how to enlarge unsharp jpegs. I have a

Mac and all I have to do is hit the command key and the plus key

at the same but then who wants to bother as long, legal-

size pages don't fit on a screen without a lot of scrolling?

You just go to the next post because you know someone else will

post what happened in a couple of easily read sentences.

Please don't decide for others what is easy to read. Habibi Jul 2018 #11

You have your preferences, I have mine. As far as "sharpen" v "sharpened"... brush Aug 2018 #22

It's your English usage in the post that was faulty. Your preference is failing you. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #23
