Compounds Conundrum
I suppose a lot of hater mail will magically appear in my in-box as a result of this post, but that’s never stopped me before. I’m noticing the misuse of compound words to mean something the word itself doesn’t. Anyway, … Continue reading
Grammar Time
Okay, so, today I’m browsing my FB feed when I come across this (above) and further down the page I land on another cutesy-saccharin-sweet-aw-garsh gag post about feelings, mushy-lovey dork stuff a certain someone constantly posts (to drive me bonkers, … Continue reading

Editing is Murder
Literally and figuratively, I think. This is a double-edged sword in my opinion. You know you have to go back and fix your original work, but in the process, I personally end up re-writing the whole damn thing. My editing … Continue reading
