DSC1 Notes

Hopefully, this should be it!

Not wanting to be a pedant, but am I allowed to point out a typo?

"If suscipious, do not gralloch and seek advice".

Also I presume "Excessive Salvation" should be "Excessive salivation"

While you're at it, can you perhaps update it to "Cervus Elaphus" as well?

By all means send me the original if you'd prefer me to do it.

Trying to edit a pdf with none of the usual word tools on a day when our IT systems were having a bad day was not easy In slower time I’ll review and correct.

Please don't get me wrong; I am full of admiration for both you and @Dave31

My work colleagues get infuriated with my pedantic nature when it comes to written communication.......sadly I can't help myself.

 

[Dave31]

Thanks for making the changes. Hopefully this will be useful for all in the future as long as people can find it.

Hopefully @admin might make it a "sticky"

Haha, any of the spelling mistakes I made were entirely due to me cramming in as much information in a short space of time! I'm happy to be picked up so we get a decent resource for everyone to use.

You have the “original” - I worked off the original pdf using Nuance Power PDF as the editor. Sadly, it’s not great. If @Dave31 could send me the original Word document it would be easy

 

[Dave31]

It was made in publisher. I can copy the updates and reupload tonight. I'll be an hour or so.

Been there and got the T-shirt! Posting a document or article can be a truly thankless task, as no matter how many times you check the document beforehand the Gremlins will always sneak something in. I always take corrections as a positive sign that at least someone is bothering to read what I've written!

Then just remember Muphry's Law, which states that "If you write anything criticising editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written."

This was subsequently elaborated to the following:

"Muphry's Law also dictates that, if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you. Your readers will always notice errors in a title, in headings, in the first paragraph of anything, and in the top lines of a new page. These are the very places where authors, editors and proofreaders are most likely to make mistakes."

Yes, I definitely end up going blind to mistakes in my own work. Just glad others have found it useful enough to read.

Ok, PFA the latest iteration with the additions from @willie_gunn and @wytonpjs . Any changes or recommendations then please let me know.

Great little crib sheet - well done guys.

When can you expect their antlers clean.

Thanks Dave, one more at the very bottom in the Rut section of table what does "P-Oct" mean in "Sep-Nov P-Oct"?

Probably October or Pregnant in October?

Peak in October. I wrote it out to try and answer the DSC1 Question Bank so I think there was a question regarding that. Maybe. It was a few months ago!
