No. five on my list of things that upset me out of proportion on how much they ought: I designed an e-mail yesterday and today to send out to our members, and I sent it around the office to proof it. One person found had a few errors/suggestions, and came to my office to give them to me. That's fine -- that's what proofreading is for, after all. But she had to explain every error I had made and spend 15 seconds on each telling me why it was a mistake. "See, over here you have the word 'continues' as the verb, but if you look at the beginning of the sentence, you can see that the subject of the sentence is 'areas,' which is plural, so that means that for subject-verb agreement you should use the word 'continue' rather than 'continues.'" Or, in other words, "Mm hmm, well that's...very good...for a first try. You know what? I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it?"
--- My new car.
I am more and more thinking that it will be this will be my next car in another year or so (assuming it doesn't become early-PT-Cruiser popular and sell at MSRP or above), and according to a message board at Edmunds, it will be at a dealer in Richmond in the next couple weeks for me to look at. Yay six-seat minivans.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
