Subject: oops I probably should've edited a word in there..sm

Sorry moderators - I'm editing my own post right now....I forgot, some would interpret that word as a bad word. Truly sorry!

Here's my repost:

While I feel I'm an excellent MT, I refuse to get as EDITED as some about this subject disc versus disk....one being from Latin and one being from the Greeks....

We follow a Greek calendar but the Egyptian one was here before that.......

People need to be a little more flexible generally speaking but also with words that are accepted either way, not have a virtual STROKE over it.
