I must stop using the word "you're" when what I really mean to say is "your". It is an embarrassing bad habit and I hope no one has noticed
( Read more... )
I feel your pain on the "you're" vs. "your" thing. My problem is that, while I most certainly know the difference, I'm a very auditory person, so I tend to "hear" what I'm writing in my head. This leads me to routinely use homonyms interchangably.
knew = new there = they're = their your = you're poor = pour etc.
It's kind of horribly embarrassing.
Also, just the other day I was looking through some pictures and I found one of Earlham Hall from when I was in Norwich. Instant nostalgia, . . . I will live in that home some day. Nevermind the fact that it's currently a history museum, . . . :-P
So, yea... this whole "post-grad" school thing is over-rated. Let's run away to Europe and become stewardesses for RyanAir. Or I can be a waitress and occasional poet and you can be a harpist-street busker in some Continental metropolis. :-)
