  3. Quick fix: Rather than adding an "intensifying" adverb (very, really) to a bland adjective (very tired) use a stronger adjective (exhausted) 9:59 AM Nov 7th from web
  4. Although most words ending in "LY" are adverbs (quickly, harshly, etc.), "lovely" is an adjective. Wouldn't a rule w/ no exceptions be nice? 6:32 AM Nov 6th from web
  5. Did you know that you "pore over an assignment" not "pour"? 8:58 AM Oct 24th from web

  8. Sign outside an "adult" store: Why is "bra" singular but "panties" is plural? 6:41 AM Aug 17th from web
  9. An entire day spent correcting my own grammar mid-sentence. Each of us *IS* responsible. They asked you and *ME* to respond. Ugh. 8:00 PM Aug 10th from web

  11. Extended twitter absence due to vacation & move, but had to post Craigslist find: "It comes with a doe hook for breadmaking" Deer bread?? 11:49 PM Jul 27th from web

  13. Words to attend to when proofreading (which you do, right?): to, too, two; lose, loose; their, there, they're; you're, your; its, it's 5:04 AM Jun 30th from web
  14. From @inkyelbows: Ten more reason for writers to climb on the Twitter bandwagon http://tinyurl.com/kuc5qp 1:03 PM Jun 29th from web
  15. Wonder whether it is a lost cause to fight the use of "hopefully" when what the writer means is "it is hoped that." Too deeply entrenched? 8:26 AM Jun 29th from web

  17. Pondering a "free gift" offer. Isn't a gift by definition "free"? Is there a gift I'll pay for? Minus those pesky strings attached, I mean. 2:44 PM Jun 28th from web
  18. "Reticent" = unwilling to speak. "Reluctant" = unwilling to act. So, you understand then that "reticent to speak" is redundant. Right? 4:56 AM Jun 26th from web
