open up the aisles

It's cheaper not to...

Also a crowded environment creates more of a frenzy. A small bar with 15 people in looks inviting where as a large bar with 100 can look empty.  It is far better for the average seller.  Went through this in our Musical Instrument trade show as well as from personal experience at an off site sale. 

In some member halls, the isles have been widened. Some groups of folks just expand to take up the space, so the jams still occur.

By the way, which buildings are now empty?

Sometimes it all depends whom you are being pused into.

I don't want a deserted isle unless Ginger and Mary Ann are there with me.

Personally I'm a Mary Ann guy, Ginger seems to be too high maintenance, that and I like short brunettes, but I digress.

Isle....Aisle...I'll...

Oy vey!

There is no shortage of wrong word use on this board. Why pick on this one?

Well, Do not look for any photos of those girls on the net, you may lose the last good memories you have of them, sometimes age is not nice to folks( like me). unlike our trains that never lose their good looks.

English is always a fun language for foreigners to learn to speak and spell.  I saw an

open isle once, on the Rainy Lakes in Minnesota where they did gold mining on this

tiny little island in the middle of a lake.  Prospect holes all over it, full of water, which

left you wondering who would descend into a shaft on a small island in a lake, and then

maybe, dig a lateral?  Crowded, narrow aisles make it hard to see what if for sale, and,

maybe, under the tables.  Wheaton, other national shows such as Greenberg, do not

and have not had crowded aisles, and you can see what is offered for sale, without

falling over assorted obstacles  (the national shows do get more, lots, of strollers, but

they are easier to avoid, for they can be seen, too)

If you've ever walked from one building to another when the temp is in the 30's and the wind is blowing hard, you'll wish the aisles were smaller and buildings fewer, or that you were in Caribbean isles.

 I'll try to not block the aisle as folks head through it to find their paradise isle. Oy vey, indeed.

See you in a few weeks.

Ok, Ok, I certainly know the difference.

Aisle be seeing you at York.

Mary Ann--the one from Gilligan's Island--is a friend of mine...on Facebook. She still looks darn fine.

I HATE YOU ALLAN !!!

But I do agree she still looks good.

Jerry

Mary Ann in a tight aisle, otherwise this is a first class idea.

Sometimes I just don't go into one of the older buildings because navigating through it will be such a nuisance. It really would be much nicer if the aisles were wider, particularly as we get more and more people with the motorized chairs.

Gerry

How about opening up the Yellow Hall under the bleachers? When I first started going to York the Yellow was used. I have some fond memories of it and it would be nice if it was used again.

I don't mind the motorized chairs. It's the rudeness of a small percentage of the drivers that I don't care for. If I had a choice of motorized chairs or not I would still pick the motorized chairs because each motorized chair represents another person who is still participating in the hobby.

When the Yellow hall under the bleachers was open, it was the dealer hall. Lots of twists, turns, and cubby holes for the vendors to use. As I recall the lighting wasn't the best.
But it was part of the York experience, I certainly made purchases there 

you want to see a deserted building

go to Dupage(Chicago) train show this

sunday, and walk down to building #5.

Black hall was empty as well.

Because it's the one being (mis)used in this thread?

What difference does it make?

Ok, I'll put it another way, why aren't there posts correcting all the other misspelling / word misuse on this board? Is the misuse of "isle" versus "aisle" more important than confusing "there", "their" and "they're".

What purpose do these corrections serve?

We don't need spelling or grammar police here. Mistakes are made, deal with it and myob. 

Ditto. I wouldn't kick 'er out for eating crackers!!!

Isle vs Aisle is funnier!

Jerry

These word usage corrections are important because they serve to educate people in the proper use of our own language. If we don't point out these kinds of mistakes, they get perpetuated and the written English language becomes a farce.

It's not a "put-down"  or belittling to correct someone on the proper use of a particular word. It's just an educational process.

I admit the English language can be confusing.

Aisle or isle?

Brake or break?

Lose or loose?

Preventive or preventative?

Oriented or orientated?

There, their and they're?

These are just a handful...

As for re-opening the Yellow Hall...no thanks! There is no heat in there! I spent several York meets in that hall during 40-degree outside temps. I'll not do that again.

And my favorite...

To, too and two

While I am wise enough to never disagree with a webmaster, I would point out that there are some great forumites who are not particularly skilled in English spelling, grammar, or usage.  This does not mean that they are not skilled in matters of interest to forumites (i.e., trains), or do not raise valid questions.  I don't think it would be proper to point out their errors and thereby subject them to public humiliation.

And then there are the heteronyms...

HETERONYMS

Thanks for the link baltotrain.  At least I learned something new today.  Those were never mentioned back in P.S. 5.

Sorry for the typo - it should have said

Isle bee scene yew.

Farmer, you fouled up again.  It's "ewe," not yew.

Or if it's pouring!! Been there...done that...

Have you seen what people text?

I don't Twitter, I would find it hard to believe spelling and sentence structure is any better there.

I look forward to seeing lots more posts correcting spelling, grammar, and word use.

Scooter Derby.

Brown Hall.

Noon.

Be there! 

Be sure you don't follow the arrows that the vendor in the SW corner puts on the floor.  You'll never get out.
