I would share all of your anger if this was actually preventing a plat from being approved, but is it? I would rather the reviewer point out minor errors than quietly let them by
You think that the quotation mark issue is a "minor error"?
That’s a CAD issue. Don’t have a fix for it so I live with it.
It's very simple. There are people referred to as "Karens".
I hope I don't encounter them in my daily life.
I have to ask, why is "replat" in quotes?
@dave-lindell I tried that... same problem though
Use the command MIRRTEXT and set the value from 0 to 1. Then mirror the text left-right, then again up-down. Steal the beginning quotation mark from the twice mirrored text and manually move it over your other text into position. Can be done, but what a PITA!
Replat is in the title of the plat and some of the cities here require the title of the plat to be in the dedication statement, sometimes more than once. I'm sure you know that proper grammar is to quote or underline a title. I wonder what they'd say if I were to underline the title.
@richard-germiller oh I see. I was worried you were putting the actual title of the plat in quotation marks. Why do people do that?
But that brings up an interesting point. Titles are either put in quotation marks or in italics depending on what type of work the title is referring to. Underlining a title was taught in secondary schools in the past because when using a typewriter italics were not an option. Since no one uses typewriters anymore, underlining isn't a thing anymore.
The MLA rule is that a self contained work gets italics, and a part of the whole gets quotes. For example a magazine name gets italics, but an article from the same magazine gets quotes.
The title of a map gets italics and I think a plat is a self contained work, so maybe use italics?
Long ago I started making comments requirung action in bold italics, and suggestions in regular font. I also use the word 'suggest' to make it clear it was optional.
Many of the 'optional' items were simply to avoid having an embarrassing document in the recird. Most folks appreciate it...
This might be a good place to add this gem from the old forum.
@tommy-young I hope the buyers don't put single family homes on Lots 1 or 2, or Mr. Harris will have an eternal pox on his descendants and have to prepare an affidavit of retraction for his affidavit of correction.
