        Also opened instead of operated, so likely autocorrect.

          Opened is probably meant to be owned.

          And accounting is probably supposed to be acute.

            And “grubbing”, grabbing.

            Moral of this message: proofread your stiff. Uh stuff.

              Money grubbing is the correct term.

              Money grabbing is a slightly bone apple tea thing.

        I’ve paid for a few to see if it helps - It does and I feel like it was worth it up until 2 years ago when they changed how matching works. But you know what doesn’t work, people telling the truth on their profile.
