Yes thank you this speech to text program is great but sometimes it picks up on what you say and not what you thought thank you
Voice recognition technology has come a long way. You can now say "comma", "period", "question mark", etc, and the software will insert the proper punctuation and capitalize the following word when appropriate.

It really isn't much different from typing. You actually have to type the characters that you want, not just think them. Using proper punctuation, vocabulary, and case is a sign of education, respect and a desire to communicate clearly. The opposite is also true.

Does the lack of use of conjunction words, upset you also.
I watch ABC news with David Muir. I'm sure he is just reading what the teleprompter says,but, dang, use a conjunction every so often. His two word sentences drive me crazy. Bombs explode, fire burns, people running.
I'm no English major, but DANG!

LOL No, other than profanity, not much "upsets" me with language. I just tend to ignore the illiterate. Since the written word is how a great deal of communication and education takes place, it is a bit disappointing when people make so little effort to do it well. Of course, I sometimes look at some of the posts I have made, and hang my head in shame over typo's and other errors. Heck, I've even been known to make content errors. :)

The only time it bothers me is when I have to read memo/correspondence/etc done by folks in our management chain with 4 year degrees. When I can spot things as simple as wrong words "to too two" and "there their they're" with my lowly GED I'm just not so sure those sheep skins did anything other than bump them ahead of me. Most can't do the jobs they're being paid for and yet they're the go-to choice for management. In another way I'm ok with it....cuz I sure as hell don't want management. Seems most managers think their job is to say "yes" to their management instead of helping them make the smart choices. *shrugs* Only a few more years in the work force and then I can say good luck and shuffle myself to something else.

Back on topic. I've also completed the transaction. It will not be taken out of my account till at least December 2nd per Elio as they want to ensure everyone who expressed interest has a chance to purchase stock. They are limited to $25MM. I, for one, upped my levelfromm my "interest level" to make it numerically work out due to the cost per share. I'm sure others have as well. I'll bet that because there was much more interest than shares available, they'll lower everyone's amount by percentage to get down to 100% of the $25MM total. In other words, on December 2nd, if they are sitting at 110% of $25MM, they'll reduce everyone's agreed on investment by 10% rather than cut some people out completely.

Those are my thoughts on the subject and now, I'm going to drive by the factory since I'm in Shreveport visiting family.

They already took the funds out of my account so I believe your assumption about 12/2 is incorrect.
