flyhi 24 #37 October 4, 2003 QuoteMy biggest peeves are the misuse of "your" and "you're".

RevJim 0 #43 October 4, 2003 QuoteOne should be very careful if you are going to be critical. You should have known everyone would scour your list for errors. Well, I for one didn't even read the list. I know I'm not exempt from the list, and I'm sure I've been guilty of many of the list items. You know what? It's the internet. Anyone canmake themselves look like a genius. Don't believe a damn thing until you actually meet the person. I've met a great number of people who have greatly impressed with their intelligence me from these forums. A few others couldn't be further from the truth.It's your life, live it!

peek 21 #48 October 6, 2003 Re: [peek] Commonly misused words I knew I was in for it when I posted this list, and I knew you all would find something I did wrong. But no guts, no glory, right? Keep them coming. I have made some corrections and additions already. My definitions are deliberately short, hence the "cow" rather than the full explanation of the bovine sex organ issue, etc. When I have time I will add as many of your suggestions as I can. If you all keep it up we might rival some of the lists that I used to put together mine. Don't you guys skydive on weekends? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
