"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

As an actual dyslexic, I rely heavily on what I learn from the wiser and more articulate among us for grammar guidance.

Another dyslexic! I'm an almost-unheard of contradiction: a dyslexic who was an English teacher and remains a grammar geek. My parents and the occasional really good teacher, they did good work on me.

But I'm completely with you on the 'another post, another edit' concept.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

you know the song is slightly wrong, yeah?

Yeah, when we had to memorize it for the test, everyone was humming a revised version: "We, the People [oftheUnitedStates], in order to form a more perfect Uuuuu-nion..."

As to my favorites:

Cilantro: unknown
Olives: of the yuck
Muffeletta: more than likely of the yuck due to above issues with olives
Serial comma: Yes, yes, and yes
Two spaces with a sentence break: yes
Most used punctuation: Double dashes, which I have to restrain myself from using twice in a paragraph, not always successfully.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Represent! I'm glad the vocal Liberals (like me) haven't scared you away.

Compassionately intolerant

Seriously? I bow down...all the way down...to your courage.

It's no mistake that my profession only requires me to listen and speak.

::heh. I totally typed "It's now" in that last line. The mis-wiring? It never sleeps.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm starting to wonder if we need to open a punctuation thread.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't suppose my tagline leaves much doubt as to my political orientation, or my abiding dream to write for HBO. I promise not to send Shari a dead fish till she deserves it, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Hmmm,

I am cilantro-neutral.

I like olives, but probably would not like a muffaletta, since I don't like ham. (not a kosher thing, I like ribs and sausage just fine, not to mention shrimp)

I don't have any strong opinions on punctuation other than an apostrophe does =not= mean "watch out for oncoming s".

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

For those that remember , before Firefox , the magical browser, my post were full of spelling errors. I say thanks to spell check everyday
