a day late...

...unknown number of dollars short.

I want to be Grammar Girl.

Why didn't I think of this? I mean, there's a sign on the door to my office marking it as the designated "Grammar Crisis Room" (thanks Steven).

Thanks to Meidy for sending this my way...for a laugh and a bit of a wistful sigh.

Hopefully Dennis will appreciate the fact that she uses the word "pre-apology". I love it!

Grammar Girl's popularity is probably good for grammarians everywhere; however, I do take umbrage at her advice on affect/effect. Effect is *usually* a noun, but not always, viz. "To effect change."

nice! Maybe now she should write a post-apology :) but then I guess that might just be a regular apology though...

You can take her down, Dovie... I will support any efforts toward that effect.
