Rossim. Exactly! That was no problem to read. I think we also develop a sense of context and start predicting the next word as we progress through a text then simply scan over it if it appears the prediction is correct.

It's also a good idea to ask someone else to proof read our own work We know what we meant to write and don't notice simple errors in the text.

Yes I also had to scan carefully to find it!
In addition, I’m not convinced either way about my use if the hyphen in sort-of in this context. I’d be curious if any of you are grammatical experts and can enlighten...

Hi all, especially those who have been here a while,
Question... in the WPR it states “ The winner may change the rules or experiment with an alternative format for the following week“, but this text doesn’t appear in the PR. Is there a reason for that?
If it’s ok, I was thinking of including a slight fun variation in this week’s PR. Let me know.

Hi Jono
Different formats have been tried in the past but without much success.
An example was giving 1st and 2nd and 3rd places but it made it all so complicated.
There's nothing to say you can't try out an alternative format if you want to. After all it's just for fun and there are no valuable prizes!
Good luck!

Hi rossim,
It would be a change to the format of the competition just an added component to the setting challenge. I’ll think about it...
