Good example. It’s good I have an image person in-house to give me advice on how to illustrate posts. Leaves me nothing to do but cringe when I see my awkward syntax and misspellings. You put out so many quality posts and do it all…I don’t know how.
Later…
Thank you! I always thought, however, that awkward syntax in this post-modernism world was a thing of the past … authors can simply say, that wasn’t an egregious spelling mistake on my part, that was deliberate and it is all the reader’s fault for failing to grasp the … the … graspiness of whatever the hell I was trying to say in the first place. And speaking of grasping things, when did the word egregious go from meaning remarkably good (archaic) to meaning outstandingly bad (modern)? It has to have been done on purpose, probably by a perverse English major. Perverse English majors are the worst!
You got me…I’ve had so much training in Standard English, and I’m such a rebel, I am slowly inventing my own language usage rules, along with a few new words.
