My posts are bouncing back as "undeliverable," so I'll try this one more time.
Anybody know what's up?
I grew up on a farm, was in the FFA all four years of high school, was majoring
in agriculture at university before I switched to journalism, so I know of what
I speak. I've seen a number of errors in Wickapedia, some of which I used to
correct, but now I just leave it alone. I know it's a fine-line distinction,
but
still, it's so.
But who cares? I'm being pedantic again.
