In Reply to: Re: Is is just me, or did Hank just now change "totalling" to "totaling" (in the George-O-Meter)? posted by Hank on April 3, 2002 at 9:10 AM:
Well, a couple weeks ago when I was reading through the forum archives, you made a post offering a free month of Friends membership to the first Georger to find the typo that had been there "since day one." (Just can't seem to find that post right now) I believe Braz answered that the George-O-Meter has the word "totalling" which is wrong. However, others said that both spellings were technically right. Apparently you thought the same, because at the time I read this (a week or 2 ago) it still said "totalling." However, today I happened to be taking a look at Where's Willy? and I noticed the Willy-O-Meter uses "totalling." That reminded me of your post, and I checked back here, looked at the George-O-Meter, and noticed the change.
Like I said, I read the post the you had made about this (several months ago if I remember right) so I assumed you were already aware of it, otherwise I would have said something.
:
: First, how did you ever notice that? Second, yes, I did change it about a week ago. Third, I'm ashamed of every die-hard WG user out there who never emailed me to tell me that it was misspelled.

: Three years that sat there, gleefully staring everyone in the face, displayed hundreds of millions of times, and it was only LAST WEEK someone was kind enough (but rather obnoxious about it) to tell me. Shape up people!!!
