Thanks, omega697. This started as a comment but it got kinda long and I decided it fit an entry better.

http://www.copyblogger.com/grammar-writing-mistakes/Aie, these things drive me crazy. Misused apostrophes have long been a pet peeve of mine, but loose vs. lose has been steadily increasing in how much it raises my blood pressure. I think a lot of ( Read more... )

I am so using this henceforth. Just to warn y'all.

You know, I was kinda uncertain of Apps at first. I came to the site one day and there was this explosion of... stuff. And I was like, "oh shit, there goes Facebook."

Damn, John Rogers writes good articles. I'd share it with my parents--we discussed the Imus issue this weekend, along with a friend of the family who labels himself as really liberal but I'm undecided on that point and who listened to Imus regularly--except my folks wouldn't deal well with the language.
