Should probably read, "full-bodied".


Thank you, corrected

You are most welcome. Did you get the second one a couple paragraphs down also?

Wow, I was asleep at the keyboard for that one...LOL

Corrected the second full-bodied.

Can you tell I was cutting and pasting?
Smile

Also corrected my fat finger Limk...

Thank you all!

No, in the USA, we always put periods inside the quote marks. Britain does it the other way.

"Because you know, women are always right!" needs a comma after
"Because."

Some sell my coffee right next to their t-shirts and CD's!

No apostrophe after CD. Just make it CDs. Apostrophes are for possessives and contractions, never to make plurals.

Getting somewhat nit-picky now, but techically in

quote:
That's right the Heavy Metal Gods Saxon, drink my stuff!


should separate the two sentences. Perhaps:

quote:
That's right! The Heavy Metal Gods, Saxon, drink my stuff!


Plus throwing in an extra comma.

You could repurpose those apostrophes here:

Missed that one. I agree.

Not grammar, but I think the title in the white box detracts from the otherwise streamlined and modern look. Just the words of the title in the top bar would look a lot better IMHO.

Great site, good luck!

"And my wife asked me, "Hey Honey? You really should..."

Because you know, women are always right!"


Even though we know what you mean, these two sentences could be sharper.

Usually when a person asks something, e.g."my wife asked me," it should follow with a question. Here, it is followed by a statement. You could change the word, 'asked,' to, 'told'.

Also, "Hey Honey?", is not a question, but more of an exclamation.

So it could read: And my wife told me, "Hey Honey! You really should..."

"And you know, women are always right!"

Changing the 'Because' to 'And' reads better.

In paragraph “How I got started” - you have two “d” in the word “told”

Good for you to get the wrinkles out. Ticks me off to look at what I believe is a professional page and find spelling errors. Instantly the credibility goes to zero with a mental picture of a bunch of idiots on the keyboard.

Best of luck with the business. I love a good cup of coffee.

Tighten up the sommelier summations and make it a statement:

Bright, rich, balanced, full body with hints of dark chocolate, tart cherry and citrus.

very good body leads me to think you have a swedish bikini team member drinking it..

I have no clue what single origin drinker means
