At this moment, I am lounging in bed reading Say What You Mean. I have already looked up all my linguistic pet peeves.
You ask, “Did you find alot of them?” I slap you upside the head for joining those two words into one. It makes me alittle annoyed.
Oddly, I couldn’t find any mention of valuable vs. invaluable, but I did discover the origin of inflammable vs. flammable. And yes, I just looked up vs. to see if versus should have a period when abbreviated. Soon I will shall be frozen with paranoia and writing entirely in words of one syll-a-ble.
I’m still slapping myself for punctuating “its” incorrectly (the shame!) in a comment on someone else’s blog. If it was yours, correct it for me, okay?
On the other hand, Gary has just finished watching a TiVo’ed (oh, I don’t know if that’s right) episode of The Girls Next Door (I’m not even going to work out if that needs an underline, italics, or quotes). Now he’s watching Caribbean Workout. He isn’t working out to it. He’s just watching it. I find this very, very pervy.

I totally just added that book to my Amazon wishlist. Of course, no one will want to buy it for me, once they realize that it will only arm me with additional ammo to use against their crappy grammar skillz.
Well, its a book that sounds alright too me.
Rebecca – Snort!Vaguely – Whom do you know with crappy grammar skillz? It appears to me LA is populated by people with the mad grammar skillz or who carry themselves like Tim Gunn.
