atheists are people who are "a-" (without) "theism" (a belief in god).
they are not "athiests"; they are not "athier" than everyone else, nor is "athy" a word.. .
this isn't aimed at anyone in particular, but it's a mistake i see every day on here and i thought it might be nice to have a topic we can bump just to periodically remind people of the proper spelling, especially since they are sometimes referring to their very own beliefs.

"As regards the ALLEGED involvement of children, the applicant association [WTS] submits that children CANNOT BECOME MEMBERS of the association but only participate...In respect to the refusal of blood transfusions, the applicant association submits that there are NO religious sanctions for a Jehovah's Witness who CHOOSES TO ACCEPT a blood transfusion and that, therefore, the fact that the religious doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses is against blood transfusions CANNOT AMOUNT TO A THREAT to public health."

Good, Terry!
After all, we all do have the rest of our life.
Yes, there is that which satisfies our artistic side, but that discrete portion that our agent says will prove marketable.
The movie, Smart People, with Dennis Quaid, had the professor's/author's brilliant novel, You Can't Read, edited- and, consequently, dumbed-down to make it accessible to Average Joe Reader. Lawrence (Quaid) came to terms with the travesty, admitting ruefully that the proceeds would pay Daughter's tuition at Stanford.
Go for it!

on my imac laptop i am typing away and suddenly my words appear on a different line, often within the text of an earlier sentence.
it is nonstop and the tech advice online is difficult for me to understand/apply.
never has occurred on my dell pc.. has this happened to you?.
Thank you, dear friends, for practical advice as well as for technical direction.
As best as I can figure so far, it seems I was inadvertently hitting the touchpad. I do have a mouse plugged into a USB port. When I use the optional external keyboard, this doesn't happen because my hands are nowhere near the touchpad. I'm away so left the keyboard at home. Putting 2 and 2 together . . .
Will report back later. BTW, there was lots of info on "jumping cursor," but I had some difficulty figuring out the steps to remedy the problem.
Yes, it is called a "cursor" for obvious reasons! @*%!$&@(#_$!
Gratefully,

scarce in my youth had feet touched on earth,.
intent, so i was, to vanquish all that held me.
painfully fast to misery in flesh and a sorrow.
Thanks, rip!
I recently finished a Victoria Holt novel where "Plain Jane" has always been the apple of the lord of the manor's eye. She doesn't buy it -- at first . . . or second. . . .
