You Spell Your Name Wrong



In which Emily shares about how the interesting things parents do when selecting names for their children make her job that much harder.

Thank you to Jer at http://www.nyquil.org for making a widescreen version of the TV test pattern.
You were right. It was useful to someone.

Apologies to:

Whose v. Who's

USAGE A common written mistake is to confuse who's with whose. The form who's represents a contraction of ‘who is’ or ‘who has’: : who's going to feed the dog?;: I wonder who's left the light on again? The word whose is a possessive pronoun or adjective: : whose is this?;: whose turn is it?


Why hadn't I looked this up before? I wonder how many times I've screwed this up.

Kanye Memes and judging intelligence.




I'm loving these Kanye memes. Please read the comments section of this webpage:

from 'Kanye'saFaggot' to 'POINTLESS IS RETARDED'

Just in general, when you are making judgements about the intelligence of others, then is a good time to consider what you are saying, to re-read your words. ( I worry about this when updating Improper Apostrophe)

Good stuff.
