I definitely make my share of booboos. No soup for me!I had a great short story collection wherein I highlighted in yellow (use any color available) words like lay, lie, lain, lying and the like. I highlight split infinitives when I come across them...and they are plentiful. Strunk & White are spinning, doing pirouettes. Reminds me of the clocks in heaven? One tic for each misdemeanor? Ole Frank's clock, they got that in the main banquet room, using it as fan.
How long before we have tests of the EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM on message boards and the like? You're sitting there, viewing you favorite por-- favorite music of something. BRAAAAAAACK! MEEEP! MEEEEP! MEEEEP! This is a test of...so forth and so on.

Come to think of it, maybe he can't. I try not to spend much time with the whole lot of them. They're an ignorant bunch.
I have trouble being around regular people, much less ignorant ones!
I guess I'd be a people person if it weren't for the people.
Ha! These two are pretty bad. And there are a couple more sisters we don't even associate with that are bigger screw ups than this one. Hate to admit my kids are related to these people.
I used to say a version of this when I was moonlighting in retail.
"You know, this store wouldn't be a bad place to work, if it weren't for the damn customers."
Well, now . . . this would be the perfect place to post that scene from Life of Brian where the centurion threatens to kill Brian if he can't get his Latin correct.
Unfortunately, "an error occurred" and I was not allowed to pirate that video away from youtube.
