A granary is a storehouse for grain, and I don’t believe Spooky has figured out to convert such an object into an internet blog post. However, if he did, that’s amazing and should be commended. Not poorly criticized by Ty. It is sweet irony to have such an egregious error when criticizing someone else.

Thanks Spooky for keeping us informed of neat, and often outlandish, things!

In reply to Ty.

Well, I guess it’s because I am not a native English speaker, and neither was Sumitra, the girl who did most of the writing until a few days ago. I guess that’s exactly what’s happening – we take multiple sources (when available) and try to come up with our own version of it, in which we try to mention the most important and interesting bits. I never thought about it before, but I guess I do translate the original stories in my head to Romanian and then back to English. It’s not like I can do anything about that though, it’s just how my brain works.

I hate to disappoint, I really do, but please know that I am doing my best.

Why are most of your articles about relatively interesting topics, but always poorly written with granaries and spelling mistakes? It’s as if you are translating someone else’s writing and posting as your own… It’s disappointing and difficult to read.
