Footage is the measure of how many minutes are recorded, not how many are shown. I think you mean exposure, play or airtime.

You have another spelling error. Was there no red line under any of the words when you typed them?

The red line only appears on devices that can display one. My Android phone can't.

I think that "famous people" or "celebrities" would work better in your sentence than "the people", and so would "a lot", or "too much" instead of "more."

Re-read posts #2 and #5.

Sometimes we think we are wasting our time trying to improve your sentences.

I think the time has come for me to leave tufguy's threads to those more patient and tolerant than I.

Could you please tell me what I had to do? Are you saying that I changed few words. Yes I did if I hadn't then you would have said that I didn't change the words that you suggested. If you want to say that why I didn't change the word "people" to "celebrities" or "famous people" that's because "Teacher" said that it would work better but I didn't want to talk about celebrities I wanted to talk about all the people be it celebrities or normal people but if you guys want me to change it as well then its fine let I can change it too.

I'd write Videos about celebrities' personal lives get a lot of airtime nowadays.

Could you please tell me what you meant? Are you saying that I should have used the word "footage"? By footage I meant a lot of attention there.

I have corrected the spelling of "videos" but could you please tell me what was my mistake that they are saying that they won't reply to my threads? Rover k and Piscean are saying that I didn't amend my mistake in post# 7 and amended it later. They are saying that I cheated. Is this my mistake? You also know that I didn't do anything like this.
