I am back!


Notice that the sticker says, "How's my driving?"

This is funny. The error I wish to address is the use of that instead of who. Folks are people, so the pronoun who should be used, not the pronoun that.



It should be "THEY'RE BACK." This one is easily checked. If, when you write or speak, you mean they are, then you should use the contraction they're. Of course, the contractions are unacceptable in formal writing.


This is a picture I took several months ago.. (Obviously, since we now believe that $2.59 gasoline is cheap!) Rather than "peice," this writer should have used "piece."


I hope the food is DEAD!

It has been a year since I last posted! Thanks to Amber for faithfully sending me pictures of mistakes she finds in her part of the state and neighboring state. I have a few new pics saved on my computer that I have been meaning to post.

This one is funny. Of course "ur" means "your." I realize that this is abbreviated to save space, but as a middle school English teacher I frequently see students who use this in formal writing. YIKES!
