ita, things are good. How was your trip? How are you? Welcome back.

"Taken for granite"

Was it in Riley fan fic? Actually, we're finishing up BtVS S4, and I'm rather fond of Captain Cardboard this time around. I think it was season 5 when he really went pear shaped, though. I do love Angel's appearance in The Yoko Factor, though.

Tow the line and free reign don't bother me much, because although I know toe the line and free rein are the correct versions, the mistakes a bit of sense. Towing a line (that is, rope), and free reign (rule) are possibilities.

Taken for granite is cracking me up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

These falls are stunning.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Welcome home, ita. I haven't looked at the pictures yet, but I bet they are wonderful.

Oh, the falls are so beautiful, too. And I love the name Lake Elementaita.

Tow the line and free reign don't bother me much, because although I know toe the line and free rein are the correct versions, the mistakes a bit of sense. Towing a line (that is, rope), and free reign (rule) are possibilities.

For some reason the fact the mistakes make a certain sense just makes them bug me more--it's not a pure misspelling or typo, but a misunderstanding of the metaphor. Which tends to make me all Grumpy Old Woman about people not reading enough and not understanding language and history as much as I think they should.
