I prefer an upper case C. But then, I'm a grammatical pedant. And if you choose otherwise, I will not leave.

I'm a grammatical pedant.

I'm a real grammatical nut deep-down too. I fight against it. It's a real pain. I read every bit of the cereal packet - even though it's the same every morning. (Perhaps I shouldn't have said that last bit out loud).

Hey, here's an idea. This will get them: Do you reckon we should put an apostrophe after the "s" of roots too as we are talking about plural roots?

I like the upper case 'C' and I'd prefer a 't' that looks less like a cross.

And since changes are underway, another minor point:  on the main "show unread posts since last visit" page, some of the horizontal lines between posts have gone missing.  I've been noticing that for quite awhile now.  It isn't a major defect but it makes it slightly harder to read.

I'm not sure what you're seeing there, but I'm hoping the changes will show more contrast between posts. On my screen, the posts look the same as any other lots of posts. Can you do a cropped screenshot at all so that we can see what you are seeing?

Here's an example:  line missing between "Glamorgan ..." and "Chippenham ...".   These were the 4th and 5th items on my screen.  There were other lines missing further down the page.  It doesn't seem to always be the same position that is missing; currently, there are lines missing between the 2nd, 3rd and 4th items.  I've tried resizing the page but it makes no difference.
