The Report

Even one of my favorite comdedians!

Sculpt This!

I got this from one of my all-time favorite bloggers. Ivy doesn't blog much any more, but she is quite active on a different plane. Thank you for this fabulous catch.

This little gem comes courtesy of WFAA's Cynthia Izaguirre.

English as a Second Language

The writer of this article needs some quality time with a dictionary (or spell checker) and a teacher of ESL. The rest of the “news” site is just as awful.

Why someone would start a news site with writers who don’t have a grasp of the language in which the articles are written is beyond me.

USFidelis

It seems automobile warranty company USFidelis needs to find an ad agency that is true to English grammar rules. Here are two snapshots of a commercial I saw on television today (Credit to Dear Shelley for alerting me!), and one I found on the USFidelis web site.

An apostrophe might be in order here.

Hyphenate it or make it two words.

Wasn't this covered in a remedial punctuation lesson in fourth grade?

Slacker

Fret not; I haven’t committed blogicide. Life has simply consumed me. I’ll be back. I promise.

And The Winner Is...

My modest, little blog was recently bestowed the Kreativ Blogger Award by language-blogging friends Wordacious and The Punctuator. Thank you both for thinking of me and for the kind words about this small-time, hobbyblog.

By accepting this award each recipient agrees to follow the accompanying rules: 1. Post the award on your blog, and link to the person who gave you the award. 2. List seven things you love. 3. List seven blogs you love. 4. E-mail or comment on those blogs to let the people know you’ve given them the award.

Seven loves:
1. My kids
2. Shelley
3. The sea
4. Cooking
5. Genealogy
6. Fishing

Because one of my other blogs was also selected for this, I’m only listing language blogs, some of which have already received this award. Here are my seven favorites:

1. A Walk in the Words
2. Apostrophe Catastrophes
3. The Punctuator
4. Red Pen, Inc.
5. Terribly Write
6. Lower Case L
7. Apostrophe Abuse

Because I’m not the type to perpetuate chains, I’m going to end this chain here! If you read my blog, you’ll see my tribute to you; if you don’t, you won’t.

Speaking of Apostrphe Fails...
