It's your language. You use it every day. You should strive to master it. My late mother, a 27-year, graduate-level professor of English, embedded that in my brain once upon a time. I’m not nearly as smart as she was, but I’m sharp enough to recognize that the vast majority of native-born Americans can’t speak or write English worth a lick.

Hey there! I found your site through a link on Apostrophe Catastrophes...your posts make me giggle! :) Just wanted to say hello and let you know I've added you to my blogroll over at Red Pen, Inc.
Hi, and thanks for dropping by. I was beginning to wonder if anyone even visited this site any more. Glad it made you laugh. I've linked your site too...which I'll be visiting some more this morning.
