Out of all the Points-o-Matic tasks... I think this one is my favorite! With my earbuds in and audiobook on I could do it all day

Sure! The badge description says to go to Points-O-Matic. There's an option for it in the menu on the left side of your screen if you're on a desktop or in the Quicklinks or the Play popout on a phone. There's also a link to it in this badge! Once you're there, click on Text Rectifier mode and follow the instructions. Thanks for playing! :)

Love this new mode! Question - Does each entry get loaded once, or do a certain # of people have to enter the same ageed upon text for it to be logged into the library system? I don't really need to know, but my curiosity is getting to me regarding how these library systems work!

Hi Lisa! So glad you're enjoying it! You've got a GOOD GUT for how these systems work; there needs to be a certain amount of agreement before the image is determined! Thanks for helping to RECTIFY this TEXT (and, of course for PLAYING!!!!!)
