    forum rules unreadable in chrome

    english rules show as
    论坛规则用中文
    thats small boxes in chrome
    also this is the excel forum so topic should be "FORUM rules" not "FORUMS rules"

    I'm using Chrome (18.0.1025.162) and everything looks OK.

    Everything looks ok for me too, in the same version of Chrome.

    Also, where are you seeing "FORUMS" and not FORUM?

    Yes, the link SNB posted is in the non-english excel group. I will send it forward to be corrected.

    Re: forum rules unreadable in chrome

    Since the issue is in the Non-English Forum, perhaps "Forums" is correct in one or more languages? Esperanto? Navajo? It's gotta be correct in one of the thousands of languages/dialects out there.

    Not in the combination with 'rules'; the french 'rulles' means something completely different.

    I don't see the grammatical error:

    When reading the forum’s rules, I noticed a mistake.

    Re: forum rules unreadable in chrome

    Nothing personal, Martin, but it's humorous seeing one of the least grammatically-correct English-language posts commenting about a typo.
    nope.. it is just one forum. so forum rules is correct, forum's is wrong it's not English
    Improper punctuation, capitalization and even malformed ellipses (thanks to kakapoo for pointing that out elsewhere)... oh my!

    Plus, the Non-English sub-forum was created by English administrators well before the current owners arrived. If only we could all be perfect.

    (Note: In Texas, adding "y'all" to the end of any of those sentences would have been acceptable, if not required.)

    Re: forum rules unreadable in chrome

    err where is the error ? this forum changes most caps to lower case at random. Anyway I'm English so i must be right. Everyone else is wrong, especially those from across the pond who never learnt to spell anyway!
    I still say that "forums rules" or "forum's rules" is wrong. Unless in the latter preceded by "the"or maybe "this".
    "forums rules" refers to many forums ,this is just one.
    Nope. It is just one forum. So forum rules is correct, forum's is wrong it's not English
    what is grammatically incorrect with that? ok so "nope" is slang. and/it/but/so used to be disallowed but is now common practice. Ask ms word! oh my mistake that's American English so it must be wrong!
    After all we all know the abbreviation for mathematics is maths not math
    math comes up error in every spell checker!

    Maybe you should report that, then.

    Of course being English makes you always right. Except for that whole taxation vs representation thing a few hundred years ago. And believing that Margaret Thatcher was really a woman. And men wearing skirts. But I digress.



    PS - I'm 50% Scottish, but you won't catch me going commando in a kilt.

    50% commando would be a thong.

    50% Scottish is not something to boast about. That should be kept secret.

    I only mentioned it because I'm in good company. When travelling I usually tell people I'm Canadian and love Scooby Doo. (Thanks, Eddie.)
