Guest Zev Posted November 18, 2020 at 05:22 AM Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 at 05:22 AM As far as I can tell the following items needed to be addressed: (Please have on hand both editions 11 and 12) (1) Edition 11 at page 182, under "§14. Postpone to a Certain Time (or Definitely)" SDC #5 Offending Text: "...is limited in that is must not go..."

OK guys, nice job so far, HOWEVER, (5) Edition 11 at page 488, under "§49. Boards" 5th bullet, first sentence Offending Text: "...a vote can be taken without a motion's having been introduced..." Offending Word: "motion's" Fix: Delete word "motion's" and insert word "motion" Edition 12 at page 465, 49:21(5) first sentence Fixed?: NO (6) Edition 11 at page 603, under "§58.

Shmuel Gerber Posted November 18, 2020 at 04:15 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 at 04:15 PM I don't follow. Was there some list of errors in the 11th edition that items 5 & 6 appeared on? I don't consider them to be errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zev Posted November 18, 2020 at 10:29 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 at 10:29 PM At this juncture I will leave this issue at the discretion of this wider community to decide for themselves whether the possessive case "motion's" is proper English grammar and whether "elective" is the same thing as "elected."

But please keep reading the 12th edition. (I hope there aren't any more errors that we haven't found, but if there are I hope that you, or some other helpful members, find them.)
