More On Save Enterprise Donations

Malfourmed writes "TrekUnited.com today announced that three anonymous contributors from the commercial spaceflight industry have stepped forward with a $3 million pledge toward the campaign to ensure a fifth season for the recently cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise. The benefactors explained why they believe this campaign deserves such a substantial contribution: 'We think Star Trek and especially its latest incarnation, Enterprise is the kind of TV that should be aired more often. The people responsible at Paramount think this is just a show and we want to tell them, it is not. We are in the commercial space flight industry and would like to testify that at least one out of two of all the actual entrepreneurs involved in this industry has been inspired by Star Trek; and we are not only good at watching TV sci-fi , we are also good at writing checks, big checks. The people airing this kind of TV have a responsibility; inspiration.' " We reported on this a few days ago, but this is more info about the largest donors.

I always spell the piece of paper that detail payment instructions to the bank as "cheque" not "check". For example: "American Express Travelers Cheques"

Cheque is the international English spelling while Check is the American English spelling.

"Donors", not "doners".

Both spellings (cheque and check) are considered correct in the US.

You can also use "catsup" or "ketchup."

There are not a lot of words in American English with more than one valid spelling, but a few do exist.

Agendas

I Would take the karma hit , but i really dont want to start getting hate mail

Could Enterprise fans with mod points please stop Abusing them to push your agenda.
Someone who dislike Enterprise is not a troll or flamebait . I can see about 40 points moderated down Which are in no way Trolling or flames.
I myself am a long standing Star trek fan , I dislike the new show and belive it was rightly canceld ,It sullyed the history of the star trek universe.
Please for the love of credibility of the Slashdot mod system , stop forcing your agenda on us .
You are giving Star trek fans a bad name , We are not all Zelouts and we can admit
that something with the star trek name could perhaps be bad .

Say what you will... at least I learned how to share early on whic probably explains why I use Free/Open software now. Any kid on the block could have asked for time on my compute cluster and I would have been happy to give it.
