I don't know how many times I've seen someone make a good point only for the wisdom to be wasted on account of a grammar mistake. Your welcome. ;)Spudnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582705259374923073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-85547753669855515952013-05-19T13:23:07.158+01:002013-05-19T13:23:07.158+01:00LOL

It's always when you're talking about something like this that things like that happen. :)Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-78889776959930814172013-05-19T12:37:07.323+01:002013-05-19T12:37:07.323+01:00Ha!

It's okay on a blog when you get that conversational style thing happening, but not if when gets to the point that you have to re-read every paragraph to translate it into something that makes sense.<br /><br />It's also jarring when this error occasionally slips through in newspapers or other publications.Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
