The literate are becoming an oppressed minority.
I get called a 'grammar Nazi' nearly every time I try to helpfully correct someone who's committed the aforementioned word crime.
Or as one of the Rocky and Bullwinkle gang used to say, “I hate meeces to pieces!” Of course, meeces and meeses are two different speeces. (Cough-cough).
Freeping on company time?
Tsk tsk.
I was already aware of who Frankie from Nova Scotia is, so I just rolled with it. He's a sweet kid with some sort of mental deficiency, who's made a name for himself as a weather forecaster.
He's an inspiration, actually.
That was Jinx, the cat. He was a Hanna - Barberra creation.
When I post from the computer at work it often double posts when I click it once.

Them new fangled ‘puters are fast. You can’t push and hold the key.
The great Canadian tiger/moose imbalance often confusing.
This video clarified the issue and changed my life for the better.
I am a security guard at night. For 4 hours I sit at a desk with nothing to do at all except make an entry on a form once an hour. For 4 other hours I drive a truck around the grounds at 6mph. The Post Orders say No Books, Phones, or Surfing on the job. The supervisor says Stay Awake and understands that the two instructions are not always compatible. I suppose I would have a bit more excitement if Moslem fellow were to show up at the gate with a bomb vest on.
That doesn’t seem to be the problem.
I would go batsh!t crazy doing your job. No wonder you freep at work.
I’m not being THAT guy. Now, about your posting from work....
As Tom of Tom and Jerry put it, meese is plural for mouse as in Tom will tear those meeses to pieces.
Yep someone frepmailed me the other day and explained the difference between "to" and "too" because of a mistake I made.
I though WOW you can't get away with anything around here. I know they were just trying to be helpful but since I am a product of the LA City School system I already forgot the advice.
Nothing like a Sunday whiskey or 3.
I try especially to help those who split infinitives when they don't got to.
Thanks, Whitey. That sentence seemed a bit awkward to me when I was composing it.
I love Frankie. I wish he’d make a “Wake-up!” video so i could play it at full volume in the morning whenever the kids are staying here.

lol I appreciate that.
Actually I thought you were planning to draw out a nitpicker like me, and dropkick me with a Churchillian line about the kind of nonsense up with which we shall not put!
At any rate carry on with your helpful ways...you’ll have a fan in me at every who’s, whose, lose (NOT loose), do’s and dont’s.
The wx forecasts are Frankie's bread and butter. The moose/bees/wolves/lions/bears chasing him stuff is his "comedy". he is endearing plus he is becoming quite successful. Take a gander, he's worth your couple of minutes to do so.
His mother must be very proud of him, considering his prospects. To quote Frankie, "I am doing so well all of the time!"
