Of course I made a typo ... I never said I did not. And the funny part about it is I am a sports writer, but I guess that is why I have editors.

I wrote: "Does it depend on all you got OOB in the first place?"

If you read it, I guess I would have assumed you or anyone else would have been able to figure out the word "all" could have been replaced with something that made sense - like "how" ... anyway, what about this word in your post: noothher

And another word: askas

I know, you said you make typos - so I will try to figure it out and move on ... I make them all the time, but now will have to give all my posts another read (or send to the copy desk ).

as for Nevadaref's situation - will have to wait for him to clarify. I would like to know what he meant or what sort of play he was speaking of.

Does your editor catch sentences that end in prepositions, too?

HA HA, just joking. Notice the big smiley face. Don't get mad.

Not mad at all ... while posting in forums like these, it is more like sending a text or it is very informal ... so not much thought into it ... basically, what is happening in our society with e-mails, blogging and text messages - we are seeing lazy writers. When was the last time you wrote more than three words in cursive writting?

Informal and unclear are two very different things. It may be obvious to you what you meant to say, but it wasn't to all of us.

Gee whiz people ... the first one was certainly a typo and my mistake ... Could not believe how some of you responded to it.

The second - ending in a preposition = informal.

sorry coach!

Given the OP (the player has part of his/her body in the FC and part in the BC), I initially read your post as asking whether it mattered "which parts" or "how much" of the body was OOB. Of course, that doesn't matter, either.
