I’m like you but I truly am a grammar snob. In fact, nothing humiliates me more than when I make a grammatical error. I’ve fallen on my face, slipped down stairs, confessed my love, had my skirt blown up by the wind, etc, but I just laugh them off. I make a grammatical mistake? I slink off, hoping to die.

kouji — Oh, never worry about spelling and grammar in this blog. I don’t wear my grammar police uniform here!

lala — That and it’s/its, there/their/they’re. Ugh.

Jenn — Neither do spell checkers. Before word processing programs existed, I’m quite sure everyone’s spelling was far more accurate. Sign ‘o the times.

By the way, Mama O survived the summer of Darling Daughter’s wedding madness! And if you have time, be sure to vote for Regan!

Mark — Be glad I didn’t boldface it. Some didn’t see it right away. Maybe I’ll make it tougher next time and really make everyone go insane.

Becki — Maybe they never looked at it, thinking who would be goofy enough to freeze-frame on it?

TheSnackHound — I could see that. Or maybe it was an “in joke.” Nah. Probably just a mistake.

Carol J. — They stick out like sore thumbs to me. For all the effort that goes into making a movie or a sign, you’d think someone would eyeball it better.

Margaret — I do, too. And I’ll admit I don’t always notice. Somehow this one jumped out at me. Husband still thinks I’m strange and he’ll never get in the car with me now unless I tell him why.

Laurie — Thanks so much for the award. I’m honored and happy to have you as a regular reader. {{blushing}}

diesel — God, I can never spell your name right on the first try. “It’s” always jumps out at me. Wrote about it in the early months. Also researched my newspaper’s online archives for misuses of “literally.” Best offense: “During the proceedings of the morning neither Grace nor McMath had much to say to defense counsel, although they literally “hung’ on every word of Mr. Taylor.” Oh yeah? How exactly do you do that?

muskrat — You’re right. Tense is mismatched. And pluralizing words incorrectly is a major offense. But Lord Likely has the solution (see above) and I fully support it. I’ll celebrate my next same-digit odometer rollover. There will be champagne (not while driving, of course).

Musing — And now you don’t need to feel funny about it the next time it happens. We are soul sisters!

dizzley — Unfortunately, I do, but only in this blog when responding to comments. I don’t know why. I’ve done it since the beginning and now I can’t stop. Cool trivia! Thanks for sharing. I often check IMDB.com for trivia after I watch a movie. Thank God for the internet.

Peter McCartney — You’re right. But it’s possible everyone thought he was dead by the third installment in the series. I know, it’s bad. I just watched the movie and I’m still not sure.

Shiko-Msa — Oh, thank you for that link! What a great post! I’m of the opinion that texting is ruining the language, despite protests that it’s a simple evolution. If that’s the case, God help us all. I can’t read it! I pride myself on texting in full words (proper case and grammar, etc).

kouji — Than/then and it’s/its always stick out for me. They’re two of my biggest peeves.

Lainy — Agreed. People in publications should have special radar for that, don’t you think?
