Thank you for saying this. I am so over people who snark on this board for no good reason. I dunno, I think I'm on a shorter fuse lately due to a decades long chronic pain situation rearing it's ugly head in a bit way the last 10 days (and completely altering my life right now), but man, some of you are so unkind to other peas. ANYHOW, we (a collective we) need to start calling it out so it just stops. It doesn't add anything positive to the board. We're all grown ups here. Let's treat each other with respect. I promise to start speaking out more when I see unnecessary snark and/or rudeness here. She made the same spelling error on another thread, so it wasn’t just a typo. Wouldn’t you want someone to tell you? She’s a professional and this makes her look rather unprofessional. I don’t understand getting offended when someone points out an error. Why not choose to learn from it? The person who corrected her wasn’t snarky or bitchy in the least. Here's how I see it. You're at a meeting of a woman's group. It's a large group, held in an auditorium. Everyone's pretty much a stranger, though you may have seen one or two of them around town, maybe even had a conversation in line at the grocery store, at the library, etc. Anyhow, at the meeting someone brings up a new topic of conversation she would like to discuss by standing in front of the group and presenting the topic. This person mispronounces a word. Maybe she even mispronounces it twice. Would it be acceptable for someone else to then stand up during the conversation (which had stayed on topic) to blurt out nothing more than: "You mispronounced the word. It's not THIS but this." I have better manners than that. It's rude and possibly embarrassing to the person who made the mistake, but 100x more so for the person who had the bad manners to point it out like that. If someone simply cannot help but to point out grammatical or spelling errors, maybe they could just PM. Or better yet, just LET.IT.GO. |

I also made the same mistake on May 10, 2019 at 11:03pm. You need to update your spreadsheet. I honestly don’t care how you spell paid, but you misspelled it on the current Costco membership thread 12 hours ago. Just a heads up before myshelly goes snarky again. I know. And I made the same mistake in a thread last May. FTR, her recent posts are full of minor grammatical errors. None of us are perfect. |

There is no chance I would stay in a room with someone I don’t know.
I have to go present at a conference and I am dreading it. If my company told me that I have to stay in the same room as my co-presenter or with another coworker, I’d use that as my excuse not to go.
Admittedly, I am an introvert, but I could compromise and stay in a room with someone I knew. Someone I don’t know though? Nope, that’s like summer camp and there are new rules as a grown up.
Personally, I would ask about getting your own room since you don’t recognize the other names. Plus, two beds for three people seems a little concerning.
At least ask. Worst case is nothing is lost and you end up with three people in the room. Best case, you get your own room or at least only one other person instead of two.
Good luck. I’d hate for you to lose a great opportunity because your district can’t get their act together. Seriously. One woman per room unless friends request to stay in the same room. Don’t put strangers in a hotel room together. Good rule of thumb.

I agree - I am certainly less than perfect with spelling and grammar. And it seems to be getting worse! I cringe when I reread some of my posts. I have the hardest time with remembering that there are 2 r’s in embarrass, for example. And I did fine with “hypocrisy” until someone here misspelled it so often that I rarely remember which is the correct spelling unless I look it up.  |

Could you stay at a different hotel? Columbia University is at 116th street and the IRT #1 train stops right there so it is super easy to get to. If you decide to go this route, stay on the upper west side near Broadway. The M104 bus runs up and down Broadway too. Central Park West is too far east and taking the C train is less convenient.
Also near Columbia is Absolute Bagels at 108th Street. Very, very delicious. 20 blocks (north<->south) = 1 mile, 6 blocks (east<->west) = 1 mile. So Absolute Bagels is a little less than 1/2 a mile away.
Fun fact, the first apartment I remember as a child was 545 West 111th Street. That was the address I learned in Montessori school. Back then New York was on the brink of bankruptcy and there were many burned out lots in the neighborhood.
Anyway, have fun!

I didn't get to see the reservation, but you are expected to share a bed with a complete stranger from what I gather.
I find it so odd that any organization would make these reservations, especially given the litigious environment we live in.
This is beyond my comfort zone and I would not go if it meant sharing a bed with a stranger. A room, fine (even this is a bit much for me), but a bed? No.

katybee, since the hotel seems to be priced so much higher than it should be, is there any chance that the fee quoted in the email includes the registration fee for the institute/conference? Probably not, but it is the only thing I can come up with, unless the price also includes meals or something else. It is so odd that the price is so much higher than what you could book yourself - you would think that there would have been a group discount, not mark-up!

You said your piece and then....said it again and again, but more rudely. So, since you are all about learning from your mistakes...maybe just keep your spelling corrections to yourself next time. You might think you are being helpful, but it almost seems like your intent is not to educate but to make katybee feel bad. |

I am attending an institute at Teachers College, Columbia University. The hotel is not affiliated with the University. I think the hotel was recommended by my instructional coach – she has been to Teachers College many times before. Our reservation has the room going from $399/night to $419/night. I found it on Expedia through trivago for as low as $252/night and no more than $287/night. I also found an Airbnb with three bedrooms and good reviews close to the university for the same price as our hotel. I’m going to talk to my principal about it tomorrow… |

Calling someone out in front of a large group of people is not the time or place. Send an email later on. Pull them aside afterwards. Don’t publicly humiliate people for a mistake they are making. |

The same one where we discuss washing our genitalia with or without a washcloth. Sometimes, people make spelling errors. And when you and others make a point of publicly correcting them, you look like a pedantic asshole. |

And I made the same mistake in a thread last May. FTR, her recent posts are full of minor grammatical errors. None of us are perfect. I was a lurker for most of my time on 2peas due to hand-slapping and general meanness from some peas. I vowed that I would be more active on this board, but it still happens although not as much. I don't see the need to call people out or be snarky/mean when responding to a post. It's just rude and uncalled for most of the time. |

Honestly, if they’re not willing to give each person her own room, I’d decline to attend. Between my introvert social anxiety and the general squeamishness of sharing a bed and bathroom with strangers, this would quickly cross into the realm of not worth it. I’m still surprised that any district is willing to accept the liability of housing unrelated strangers together in 2020. That’s a big no no most places.
My husband has had to room share for mandatory training working for a very large, incredibly successful company. I still can't believe they do that! This is a company that has entire departments managing liability. Very bizarre and I suspect an incident will inevitably happen sooner or later that will put an end to it.

That's insane. My husband worked for a long time in the operations side of HR (dealing with protecting the company from liability, among other things) and is horrified that any company is still making people share rooms. Huge, huge potential legal liability. And on a personal level, he says that even if a company wanted him to share rooms, particularly with someone he didn't know well or at all, he would go to the legal department and decline to take on the personal liability for that. Someone roomed with you behind closed doors and where people are expected to undress, use the bathroom, etc. can say anything at all about you and your career could be ruined, because no one could prove or disprove what had happened. Maybe this seems alarmist, but consider that no one these days would put themselves in the situation of being behind closed doors without a window or another person present with an opposite-gender coworker. As teachers, we are never, ever, ever alone with a single student, and no male principal I've had has conducted meetings with female teachers in a room without a window. It's not a stretch to imagine accusations also coming out of same-gender meetings and hotel room assignments. It's simply not worth the risk. |

So you don't actually know who these two strangers are that are going to share a room with you? How do you know they are going to be women? It says 3 adults on the booking - who is responsible to make sure that these 3 adults are actually the same gender. I'm damn sure I wouldn't want to arrive there to share my bed with anyone and least of all with a man that wasn't my husband. Who's to know that they've just booked a number of rooms to cover xyz number of adults with no details of who is who. My Dad's first name is Carroll. He has arrived at the annual manager's meeting assigned to share a room with a female manager on more than one occasion. Obviously they made other arrangements for them. |

That is what I was thinking of at the time. So many names are used by both gender these days so it can easily happen. You just can’t go by name alone these days. That doesn’t seem to be the case here though as the OP has confirmed that she does know they are female. |

They are mostly illegal and they end up often being scams -- they'll have a well-reviewed well-located one, but the guest will show up and find out they can't use it, or will get a last-minute email saying they have been moved to a different one (different location and lousy). Some people do have good luck, but unless you have a real live person who you know to vouch for the particular site, I personally wouldn't do it. |

Also for your root post -- oh, dear me, no. I get up very early and am a light sleeper. Sharing a bed or even a room with a stranger is way out of my comfort zone. I once had a two-week training that had me in that arrangement, and my org and I agreed I'd pay 1/2 the room cost and stay by myself. I talked to a *lot* of people at the conference who were very, very, very sorry they didn't do the same.

I also made the same mistake on May 10, 2019 at 11:03pm. You need to update your spreadsheet. Ahaha katybee that made me LOL!  Seeing this thread has gone off on a bit of a tangent (as they often do here)...... I was on another message board years ago, and one of the members, who was a teacher, shared the exciting news of her promotion to 'Vice Principle'. (It wasn't a typo, she did it on several threads.) Do you know how hard it was to not correct her? I mean, it's bad enough to not know how to spell your own job title, but when that job is in education..... oh dear. She also liked watching 'Biggest Looser' on TV. However, I managed to refrain from correcting her, because I didn't want to embarrass her and I didn't want to be a dick. |

Here's how I see it. You're at a meeting of a woman's group. It's a large group, held in an auditorium. Everyone's pretty much a stranger, though you may have seen one or two of them around town, maybe even had a conversation in line at the grocery store, at the library, etc. Anyhow, at the meeting someone brings up a new topic of conversation she would like to discuss by standing in front of the group and presenting the topic. This person mispronounces a word. Maybe she even mispronounces it twice. Would it be acceptable for someone else to then stand up during the conversation (which had stayed on topic) to blurt out nothing more than: "You mispronounced the word. It's not THIS but this." I have better manners than that. It's rude and possibly embarrassing to the person who made the mistake, but 100x more so for the person who had the bad manners to point it out like that. If someone simply cannot help but to point out grammatical or spelling errors, maybe they could just PM. Or better yet, just LET.IT.GO. A friend recently pointed out to me during conversation that I was mispronouncing a word. I looked it up. Turns out I was wrong. Now I pronounce it correctly and I’m glad I know. I can’t fathom having the mindset of I’d rather just be wrong than learn. I’m guessing that came off better from a friend in a private conversation than you came off here. There have been times I've backed you up on this board for the way you’ve stated your opinion, because you don’t seem to recognize the way you deliver your words. But dang, girl, kindness is easy. |

A friend recently pointed out to me during conversation that I was mispronouncing a word. I looked it up. Turns out I was wrong. Now I pronounce it correctly and I’m glad I know. I can’t fathom having the mindset of I’d rather just be wrong than learn. Once your friend corrected you, did she also berate you and point out your lack of professionalism and so on and so forth? You said your piece and then....said it again and again, but more rudely. So, since you are all about learning from your mistakes...maybe just keep your spelling corrections to yourself next time. You might think you are being helpful, but it almost seems like your intent is not to educate but to make katybee feel bad. I didn’t say anything to katybee at all, much less berate her. I’m not the one who corrected her in this thread and my only comment to her on this thread was about the price of hotels in NYC. |

There have been times I've backed you up on this board for the way you’ve stated your opinion, because you don’t seem to recognize the way you deliver your words. But dang, girl, kindness is easy. I’m not the one who corrected her on this thread. I didn’t say anything to her at all 🤷🏻♀️ |

I was talking about you chiming in and pointing out the same error from the OP on another thread. So unnecessary. |
