Guest onisakura Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 wtf ^^^^ is the new rolling eye smilie...what happened to the green one that actually rolled his eyes?this board has gone to shit!Yeah the new one is lame.Interestingly enough, the most commonly misspelled word on a real estate contract is "refrigerator". Most people spell it "refridgerator", cause of fridge.Have you guys ever had a day where "the" just didn't look right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowina Posted May 23 Author Report Share Posted May 23 I have days when any word looks weird. I'll write "congratulations" on a full sheet cake, take a step back and feel my heart go into my stomach because I think the word looks wrong.

funks0ul Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=1592402038&itm=1FROM OUR EDITORSThe Barnes & Noble ReviewAn unexpected bestseller on both sides of the pond, Eats, Shoots & Leaves is British journalist Lynn Truss's entertaining anecdotal history of English punctuation. A former literary editor who must have wielded a formidable blue pencil in her day, Truss is one of a handful of admitted sticklers who actually care about the proper use of commas, apostrophes, semicolons, and dashes. (Yes, even in emails!) Yet she writes so beguilingly, it's easy to forget she has an ax to grind. A publisher's note and an author's preface address the subtle differences between Anglo and American punctuation, but (happily) the book retains its distinctly British accent. Yanks will love the references to chemists, shopkeepers, queues, Brit pop culture, and both houses of Parliament. Anne Markowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
