monumental mistake

Quote :

Poet and author Maya Angelou is taking issue with a paraphrased quotation from Martin Luther King Jr. inscribed in his new memorial in Washington, saying the shortened version makes the civil rights leader sound like an arrogant twit because it's out of context.

here is referenced quotation:

Quote :

“If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter.”

here is what they inscribed on the monument:

Quote :

I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness.

but this made me laugh, it's the reason given for the "edit"

Quote :

The quote was planned for the south face, but planners changed their mind and decided to move it to the north face. By the time they wanted the change, sculptor Lei Yixin had already prepared the north face for another inscription— It was too late. The memorial’s architect Ed Jackson Jr told The Washington Post that a decision had to be made or planners would go “round and round” with changes.

huh?

....sorry to hijack your thread WH, but it reminded me of this joke.

In the world of hi-tech gadgetry, I've noticed that more and more people who send text messages and emails have long forgotten the art of capitalization.
For those of you who fall into this category, please take note of the following statement...

"Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."

Is everybody clear on that?

Punctuation and grammar as so important.

lol, LOL, rofl, ROFL
it really DOES make a difference
