As to any other errors, I don’t see anything major, but if I were being critical, I would remove the space after the initial quotation mark in “box of rocks”, and add a comma after the closing quotation mark.

Now if karma is functioning today, you should be able to find at least one error in the above. As an aside, I agree with your initial comment - rudeness is not appropriate.

This was all meant in fun 😎.

I hated my Uncle Stanley! As a kid, every time I came home with a grievance about something that happened at school or at play, rather than listens to my issue and give me some adult advice, he would correct my English or pronunciation. That amounts to kicking someone when they are down or calling them "stupid" when they feel they have been mistreated, disservice, scammed. or otherwise unfairly dealt with. All that accomplishes is to cause a person to become angry and anger and rage do solve problems.

Perhaps for all the "English professors" on this forum, I should post this disclaimer with each of my posts- as follows:

"My spelling and grammar are abominable and only exceeded in poorness of my typing skills. My 6th-grade teacher said I shod become a medical doctor because I spoke like doctors write prescriptions. My speech is unintelligible and my writing is illegible. If you can extract a modicum of useful information from this post, you deserve a highly paid position as a cryptic message decoder. If you find this post borders on functional illiteracy, is too long, too short, off-topic or totally disagreeable, kindly do not read it, move on and go away".
Thank you"!

This too was meant in fun! Or was it?

Completely agree EL - I don’t care how many spelling errors you make, your in-depth information is worth it 😎. Anyone who knows me on the forum knows I am not one of the “grammar police” - I was just screwing with Willard. I rarely make a post that I don’t have to correct immediately, usually because the spell checker did something unintended, or I got fumble fingered on the touchscreen. The all time worst was an email to our head of engineering, whose first name was Diptish. To my horror, the spell checker corrected it (without me noticing) to “Hello Dipshit”. He thought it was very funny.

There is however another lesson or two from our childhood and parenting here. One is that unnecessary rudeness is never appropriate, and the other is that sometimes, as a parent or frustrated adult, the best thing to do is take a deep breath and do nothing at all.

Cheers.

We all like what we like, or we wouldn't still be using it.

I've been using only Epson printers since the beginning of my digital photography experience.

My smaller printer is a Stylus Photo R2400. About 2 years ago it shut down with the warning that the waste tank was full and would have to go to an authorized Epson repair joint to be fixed.
I found the nearest (105 miles) place and called and was told that it was time to replace because it would be too costly to fix.
I called Epson tech. and the girl (woman? want to be all PC here) spent about 10 minutes with me and gave me a link to a site that showed me how to bypass the reservoir and install an external reservoir.
While on the phone with her she also gave me a code number to re-set the printer back to zero hours.
I've been using it merrily ever since and emptying the external tank when needed.

Sometimes one gets more than expected - in a good way.
Staying with Epson for now. Maybe the next 15 years will be as happy.

I have a Canon printer and it works perfectly. If your having issues with your printer bring it back and get one that works. BTW a number of years ago I subscribed to HP Smart Friends Tech support services. It costs me $30 a month for all my computers. They are extremely professional and they have resolved every issue I've ever had. They are worth every penny.

Let’s see if i got this right, you bought a printer. It didn’t work. You called a bogus number. They tried to get you to pay for some bull sh## fix and that’s Canons fault? Your dumber than a box of rocks...get a life..

If you’re gonna be abusive and insulting you should pay closer attention and make sure your mistake laden post doesn’t make you look dumber than a box of rocks.

Checking all you other grammar and spelling nuts. Good find.
See the other error?

The lack of an apostrophe in the possessive “Canons”?

My daughter bought the same printer from Target and experienced the same difficulties. She immediately returned the computer.
