I had a really bad day. First, my ex was run over by a bus. Then I got fired from my job as a bus driver. Bummer.

When I was in college I worked for an English professor, and one of my jobs was to go through all of his student’s essays and correct their grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage. Some of the stuff they came up with was mind-boggling. And this was at a fairly selective school!

Thank you for that last one, Bluebird. I’m still on jury duty and another trial is scheduled for day after tomorrow. Courtroom humor is exactly what I need right now. 😀

Oh, and thanks for the first one, too. I don’t know what’s happened to my attention span. I need one of those GPS devices for seniors — the kind that tells you where you are, and also why you are there. 😁

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love these! Every one cracked me up! (my mom was an English teacher and the nut didn’t fall far from that tree, lol. although she would be horrified if she knew I was lol’ing in public) …. Thanks so much, Bluebird; you made my day 🙂

These are hilarious. I loved the Pedant’s Revolt (that’s one of my most irritating things) and the thesaurus. The Sloppy Joe and the psychologist are pretty good too. Oh, what the heck! I love ’em all. Thanks, Bob.

I’m pretty sure I’ve always been a pedant, at least when it comes to the English language. 🙂
