		<description>Check out the DCC site, they made all of Tim&#039;s changes including &quot;more than&quot;: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dallasconventioncenter.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.dallasconventioncenter.com&lt;/a&gt;

Now all they need to do is insert a space between &quot;than&quot; and &quot;1,000,000&quot; and in the menu bar at the top of the page change &quot;Calendar Events&quot; to &quot;Calendar &lt;b&gt;of&lt;/b&gt; Events&quot;.  Nit picky I know, but as the site says, &quot;&lt;b&gt;We are the face of Dallas. &lt;/b&gt;Through us you see Dallas as a business-focused, dynamic, multicultural city. But more than that, we are the spirit of Dallas. Friendly. Fun-loving. Efficient. &lt;b&gt;Thorough.&lt;/b&gt; Creative. Our approach, our response, our commitment to you — &lt;b&gt;these are the things that truly create your first impression.&lt;/b&gt;&quot;  Actually it&#039;s the website that creates the first impression for most people.  Fix the remaining errors, then think about a hiring a competent website designer.

The questions that still must be answered: How long were these errors visible to the world before someone noticed?  How much did the taxpayers spend for this embarrassing mistake-filled mess?  If the city can&#039;t be trusted to competently maintain the convention center&#039;s website, the sole purpose of which is to attract convention business to Dallas, why should the taxpayers be expected to put up money for a hotel?  Has any disciplinary action been taken against the employees or contractors responsible for this fiasco?  And if not, why not?</description>

		<description>I can say &quot;buttload&quot;, right? And &quot;the city where a president was shot&quot;, right? It&#039;s just the other word, which is your fault because wordpress should have caught it and turned &quot;shitload&quot; into &quot;****load&quot;.</description>

		<description>&quot;more than&quot; is a proper and appropriate correction, although it&#039;s pure copy ed-wonkery. I&#039;d bet dollars to doughnuts Saul Bellow has used &quot;over&quot; in the same context scores of times.</description>

		<description>OK...I just wonder...they have &quot;over 1,000,000 square feet&quot; OF WHAT??????

I think a proper sentence would include something like &quot;one million square feet of convention and meeting space.&quot;</description>
