Ariel Garman I know this is incorrect word usage, not a spelling error, but I had to post it anyway. Someone today asked me if I was board. I have never been board, ever, and never will I ever be board. I have, however, been BORED! Grammar people! It's not that hard!

Laird White The local (Washington DC) FOX News station aired a story about a worker hurt while working on a "busted water main". Is "fair and balanced" the same of "free of elementary level editing"? Oh - and they also pronounce themselves as the #1 local news in this time slot. Yes - they are the ONLY local station with local news at 10 PM.

Victoria Shortt Was driving my English friend home last night, when she started talking about the Stephenie Meyer book with the porn. Just as I was starting to wonder if I should read it after all, I realised she meant "pawn". Turns out that I, as a Scot, have a Rhotic accent, and most English people have a non-Rhotic one. If you'r...e wondering what you are, that attached link should tell you.

Rhotic and non-rhotic accents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

English pronunciation can be divided into two main accent groups: A rhotic (pronounced /ˈroʊtɨk/) speaker pronounces the letter R in hard. A non-rhotic speaker does not pronounce it in hard. In other words, ...

Rachel Anne One would think that a museum would use apostrophes correctly, but apparently not.

Karen Okay... I know this seems like a no-brainer, but the coffee isn't working today and I keep flipping the position of the apostrophe and the "s". Is this sentence punctuated properly? "Vaccine is also available at many local doctor's offices."

I drove in the UK once. It was in my mother-in-law's car. We drove up their back lane and I made a left turn onto the main street. I went a full block before my husband asked me to pull over so he could take the wheel. :)

Martyn Smith Something I've just written on the QI group's wall (QI is a celebrity panel general knowledge quiz - although that description hardly does it justice - for our Stateside friends who may not have heard of it :->) : QI is back, QI is back!....very interesting discussion on last night's programme...have to say I was surpr...ised at Stephen Fry's indifference to the 'grocer's apostrophe' phenomenon. I would've thought someone of his classical education and intelligence would care more about correct grammar. Anyway...the panel made several points about signwriters and why they allow grammatically/syntactically incorrect submissions to be printed. I spoke to a signwriting acquaintance a while ago on that very topic. She said that the customer is always right...you don't correct a customer's poor English for fear of offending them and losing future business

Silvie Especially for Pierre.
Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn.
1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4. The soldiers decided to desert their desserts in the desert. 5. Since there is no time like the pr...esent, he thought it was time to present the present. 6. I did not object to the object. 7. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 8. They were too close to the door to close it. 9. I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 10. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
