so i'm in chat. and i type the words 'because you're talking about stuff' (i know, i know, what a fascinating conversation this must be, eh?). and i pause, pick up my salad bowl and as i bent my head down, i had the horrible horrible feeling that i'd typed 'your' instead of 'you're'. i mean, i could remember typing 'your'. i could feel it being wrong. and i looked up and it wasn't 'your'. it was 'you're'. it was right.
that was scary.
maybe you are catching my crazed grammar vibe. i am doing all these exercises from my mother's high school grammar book. i just learned the difference between who and whom. maybe one of these days i'll learn to write complete sentences! or not. :)
I've spent many a sleepless night worrying about similar things. At least you had the words right there in front of you!
I hate it when that happens!
This is the worse part of blogging, as far as I can tell. My grammatical mistakes are in the public domain, and I'm sure that I have reduced some people's view of me with my accidental 's vs. s', as well as other hideous crimes. Of course, it's nothing compared to the holocaust, and I shouldn't even mention it.
*snicker* oh, i needed that.
My biggest fear is the "then/than" mistake. I know it's not a usual one. Probably why I fear it so.
I'll edit a post 20 times to catch all the "it's" and "you're" glitches.
Yep, grammar issues. Got'em. Not to be confused with Glamour issues, which I have not. I haven't subscribed to any fashion magazine in quite some time.
Have I mentioned I've been drinking?
drinking is good.
I need to buy you drinks next weekend. In fact, everyone should. You should not have to pay for refreshment the entire time.
we're going to have SO MUCH FUN! i'll call you from the road.
kd, did you find a car to rent, speaking of being on the road?
i'm going to do it on payday. Jason suggested a good company that works with him using only a debit card, i have that in my comments somewhere.
I stand corrected. I don't feel like getting angry, or I'd go look at that remark you mention.
i have a bit of trouble looking myself. but i keep doing it. my advice is: don't.
LOL. OMG!!!
What? Keep that salad fork away from me, honey.
I don't know who Tess is. I guess I should just be glad, eh? ;) I live in fear of the inevitable grammar mistake, too, kd. Especially when I'm writing business letters or work instructions. oy!
I used to be so proud of me spellin'
Good. I worry about you in your Buick. ;)
Uhm...what does the Holocaust have to do with anyone's grammar mistakes? I'm confused. And it's not that easy to confuse me.
Is this because the History Channel's been on the Holocaust tip all week? I know I've been watching it with that numb, "Stories my grandpa told me when I was a kid" vibe...am I not alone in this? I mean, all these kindly looking old grandfatherly German guys talking about how they shot gypsies in the head freaks me out, but I do fail to see the relevance to my typos. Could someone explain?
your scary. LOL
Oh, and I didn't mean to leave anyone out of the Holocaust...it's just that the old guy was actually talking about shooting gypsies as I was typing and my brain just transliterated what he was saying. He's also discussed killing Lithuanians, Poles, Spaniards, Jews...he apparently got around a lot. And he looks just like my mom's dad. Well, he's older. Man, that's freaking me out. Sorry. I'll go away now.
Ez, I think Jill was trying to make the most outlandish comparison she could think of, and she succeeded. :)
it would be about the conflict at Tess's where she mentioned that losing a CD collection and having a wishlist was tacky, in light of all the losses in the holocaust. she was referring to melly and i posting about Jess's loss, whether she admits it or not (oh come on. it's not just a random example. puh-leeze) and how it's her birthday and we hoped she could get some of her collection back.
Oh. See, I just was afraid it was some kind of Holocaust synchronicity and to be honest, I didn't need that kind of vibe. I heard enough about the Holocaust when I was six and my grandpa told his I was in WWII and I saw the camps stories. That might be why the History Channel is freaking me out so much right now.
