[lashbear]

Anyway, everybody knows 'apostrophe' is pronounced "Appa-stroaf". So there. Nee'ner

[Cadaverous Pallor]

punctuation
exclamation
indication
declaration

sometimes I think
I'll stick to unguided poetry
this is how my brain works anyway

no worries of crossing lines
outside the jurisdiction
of the grammar mafia

still, appreciate
good usage
have my share of angst






especially elsewhere on the internet.

Okay - who here (besides me) feels the needs to circle the errors? I know that no one else is going to see the page but I really want to circle them all with a big red marker. (as if someone will then make them correct?)

Is that why there is white out and sharpie on your monitor?

Mnemonic. I even put my original bad spelling of it into google search to get the "correct" spelling. Apparently there is just no way to get around bad spelling.

Words are important, grammar is semi-important, spelling is minimally important, punctuation is the caboose on the train.

I don't know why this reminded me, but when speaking of a microphone, the short version is not a "mike;" it is a "mic."

I also know I'm developing a bad habit of picking up phrases used in our TX office. I do say y'all and all'y'all slips out now and then.

Had a friend from NOrth Caroline and if she got drunk, that accent came out big time... funny part is that all of us from California would start talking like that too if we drank enough. ah... good times.
