Futtocks Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 There's a superb randomness to this list.

ckn Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Modern maps side by side with historical 1900 OS map, with overlays. A really nice thing that's been updated since the earlier versions.

That's nicer to use, with the slider, but far fewer choices of old map than https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.0&lat=51.58022&lon=-0.24292&layers=170&b=1 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Farmduck Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Wow! just wow! I found a site that is even more pedantic than I am. It's the VideoLAN forum, for VLC player and so on. I wrote "Just a question I guess." Their spellchecker thingy highlighted "question," which seemed very odd because I'd spelt it correctly. Anyhow I hovered over it and the system was telling me to use a comma after question. "Just a question, I guess." Imagine if every site on the Webzes started using Grammar checker! The internet would explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmduck Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It did it again. This time it didn't like, "Since I've found the answer I could possibly delete the thread but I'll leave it here in case anybody else is wondering." It suggested commas after answer and thread. I think a comma after answer is 50/50 but after thread? No way! The conjunction "but" signifies that a new topic or aspect is being introduced and thus, ipso facto, ends the previous clause and doesn't need a comma. Even so, I think I'm in love. I think I've found my spiritual home. I might sod off TRL and spend my days on the VLC forum. I could post randoms strings of text then spend hours arguing with Grammar Checker about the suggested revisions. To quote some of the earlier work of the Scottish philosopher Roderick David Stewart, "I once was lost but now I'm found." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 As we head towards the days with the fewest hours of daylight, the live webcams in Shetland are well worth a watch on nights when Shetland is experiencing clear skies, in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. The one at Burrafirth is probably the best for this, but do enjoy the others for what they show.
