Elton John 'a Little Surprised' at Rush Limbaugh Wedding Invite

Pet peeve # 234....You do not send someone an invite, you send them an invitation. Invite is the verb.

Pet peeve # 1..."that's where I am at."

Never end a sentence with a preposition. Mrs. Matthews Pine Orchard School 1968.

In case my FRiends wanted to know.....

You are a kindred spirit. Those are some of my peeves as well.

..."that's where I am at." Never end a sentence with a preposition.

"that's where I am at, you pompous know-it-all."

There. Fixed it.

Wow. You’re old.

Public faux pas #27: Never bring attention to a woman’s age.

Public faux pas #62: Never assume someone is a woman just because said person mentions something that sounds feminine.

(I’m just kidding you)

“Pet peeve # 234....You do not send someone an invite, you send them an invitation. Invite is the verb.”

I presume you are not aware of differences in accepted common usage of English between Britain and America?

It is there at which I am? At where I am? There am I?

Bad grammer and spelling is a series problem on FR. Some people just don’t pay attention to what their typing. Sometimes I loose track of what there trying to say. It’s a hugh problem.
