hey, just so you know, the team that currently mods the stories in 2020 has very little in common with the team of 2103. i remember those days when mods would quibble about things like that -i like to think that the current team has loosened up quite a bit. also, and this goes for everyone, if you find a change that you feel is unacceptable and quibbling, and you can't get any satisfaction from the moderator editing your story, feel free to contact me and i'll take a look. it doesn't always mean i'll take your side, but sometimes it really is just a matter of miscommunication.
for the record, i prefer "okay" but "OK" works too. :)
knowing this, i hope you might feel compelled to publish again, Mde.
Thanks for your comments sprite. You are one of the reasons I come back to Lush. Whenever I get an email telling me you've published a new story, I'm like the Road Runner "Beep Beep", anxxxious to read your latest and greatest. (The 3 Xs were deliberate. I use them when I chat with others...
)Back when I was "trying" to get published it seemed like there were 2 groups of mods. Those who knew how to edit and others who did a somewhat perfunctory job. I'm glad to hear you say that they have been replaced. Maybe if I get the urge to write again, I'll submit something. Actually, I'm thinking of capturing some of my "chats" and submitting something like that, i.e., a dynamic conversation between 2 people.
I am always annoyed when I see typos in the published work. I know that I type too fast with my 4 fingers, and then "know" it was typed correctly. However, there are typos and to my mind the editor/proof reader should fix them. I say "should" if there's only a couple. But if every sentence has one, then the writer should be fixing it. Regardless, the writer should be made aware of their "writer's blindness". I'm disappointed with the author because they didn't take the time to reread their work very slowly before submitting it. But I get royally pissed at the editor/proof reader, because it got by them.
For me, I use "OK" in 2 ways. If the text is someone talking to someone else, e.g., OK let's go." I use "OK". But if it's when I'm using it in a text string, e.g., "it was okay to go outside now", I will spell it out.

I happened upon this thread and read all the messages. As I got near the end, I saw the inevitable baring of teeth and snide remarks. I was very active on this site until a few years ago. I got tired of the "drama" that seemed to be everywhere.
I published one story in 2013. I have no idea who the editor was. But, there was a lot of back and forth to fix things. I decided to submit a second but got fed up. Why? It was explained to me that OK was unacceptable. I had to write out okay. That's the one that has stuck to me like super glue. But what was infuriating, was, reading numerous stories with OK. In addition, more stories than I could count with innumerable typos and outright spelling as well as grammatical errors.
I decided that it wasn't worth the frustration and annoyance to bother trying to fix that story, nor to submit another.

Everything that's been said is excellent advice. The issue is going to be to get your friend to follow it. Tigger, I know that you have probably said many, if not all, of these things to your friend. It seems that she's already made up her mind to take the trip. This despite your concerns regarding this person's unwillingness to vchat with you. Maybe you could try being party to a chat. But I'm thinking "Stranger Danger", "Stranger Danger".
If this is an international trip, then I'd really be worried. Maybe it's the prospect of visiting somewhere new and exciting that is putting blinders in place despite the warnings. That said, if she does follow the various suggestions listed above hopefully, she'll have a wonderful, safe trip.

Me, me, me. Single malt is my weakness, but it must be old enough to vote. I've never had a 40-year-old single malt.

Have you ever tasted honey as it drips from a honey dipper. The sweet liquid oozes along your tongue and down your throat. That's the closest thing I can think of to describe the sensation of drinking 40 year old single malt. But it ain't cheap, I think it was around $800 USD for a 26 oz bottle or $30/oz. Not something you want to do shots with.9vsmqmvY8rQjZ65c
