I try very hard not to be pedantic on here. My typing sucks, so I come off as illiterate sometimes as well.

That one just stuck in my craw. As you can see, I did it with an apologetic caveat.

If I had a nickel for every time I've refrained from correcting the one that I really have a pet peeve with, which is the use of apostrophes for plurals, I wouldn't have to be a dumbass "stuck in Iraq." (We're getting some mileage out of that one here...LOL)

My wife is a special ed. teacher. (Who is this "special Ed", and what does he wan't?) My kids has some neuro issues. So I've been conditioned to guess about what, analagously to Freud's usage, one might call the "neuropathology of everyday life".

It fascinates me that after years of typing on paper, when I started typing on-line, I developed what I jokingly call "finger dyslexia". Transpositions seem to happen WAY more often than they did.

And I know perfectly well the difference among the "to" words and between "your" and "you're", and "cats" and "cat's" and all that. And yet my fingers sometimes seem to have a mind of their own.

Yes, there are people who seem to think that apostrophes show that you care, like using "I" where "me" is natural and correct. But I really think that some of it is a little indicator about slips and glitches in communication between the cerebral cortex and the organs of verbal communication.

Uh, what were we talking about? Oh, Yeah. Kerry's a dope. How can you run for office if you can't tell a joke? It's overstating it, but it's like hypo-Aspberger's Syndrome. The guy is just socially ham-handed. He's a dork of the first water. Probably the only reason there's not a sex scandal is he couldn't get any woman to hold still long enough for him to misbehave ....

LOL! Literally. :)

What are you talking about???? Your posts are pretty much always perfect.

You're either a robot or a Virgo. :^)

And my pet peeve is "definitely."

Love your new tagline!!!! I can see photos of troops with huge banners of "Stuck in Iraq" circulating the globe as fast as they can get made. Kerry revealed what the libs think about all of your missions in Iraq.

And I would be wealthy too if I had a nickel for the misplaced apostrophes and misused "loose" and "lose" that I refrain from "correcting".

Stay safe and keep posting on FR.
