smooch!
LOL! Reading 50 posts is enough to BUMP OUTSTANDING FReeper humor! LOL!
You’ve gotten so many responses that I can’t take the time to read them all. I’m a very intelligent person and I know the difference between lose and loose, there and their, too and to, etc. Sometimes I’m typing away and I just have a brain fart and use the wrong word and I hit the post button without proofreading it first. It happens. Don’t let it ruin your day. :)
Whut? Not halving phun any more? lol
There is a forum for personal vanity threads, this is not the place. That is why! You have a problem with people opposing your posting vanities in News/Activism?
Their has got to be another way.
Here’s mine: About 99.9% who use the phrase “begs the question” have no freaking idea what it means or how to use it correctly. “Then” and “than” are two more landmines for the semi-literate...
I no whatchu meen.
I always wander, after I let lose of a post and poast it, “Did I spelt that word corectly”?
and to vs. too
and lowly dangling participles

I so know what you mean! The one that I hate the most is when they spell copyright as copywrite I want to scream! Or instead of using an they think it is and. I can see the difference between when it is a typo and when the person doesn’t have a clue.
Bump to read tommorrow......
All I know is that I’m quite anxious to finish watching season 1 on DVD because in seasons 2 & 3, Gilligan and the rest of the castaways are in color.
