LOL!! You know, I am pretty critical when READING written stuff - especially written by others. My Grandma is an excellenct grammaticist (is that really a word?) and she imparted some quirks to me. For example, I hate it when someone says 'More importantly....' It should be "More important...." One of my (many) pet peeves! But online, I just go with the flow - God knows I make a ton of mistakes myself!!

(i.e. get the plank outta your eye before you get the speck outta the eye of your brother! LOL!!)

Maybe we should ask Tonkin if we can devote a Canteen thread to common grammar mistakes. LOL! Fawnn, having authored a book on the subject, could lead the way.

My mistakes have more to do with my typing. I swear my fingers are not hooked up to my brain and I see what I want to see on the screen, instead of what is actually there.

BTW, Dude Winglethorp - now that is a name destined for greatness!
