i know we have a few readers out there who have the same weird neuroses that we do. having said that, i am opening the blog up for suggestions. such as, what bothers you that people do (as in speak/write/etc.) regularly? for example, when i lived in cache valley, i noticed that a lot of people conjugate improperly. e.g., "we was just over there yesterday." or, "oh, sure, i seen him running across the street!" whenever i hear crap like that, it feels as though someone is stabbing me in my ear, which is not a good feeling. believe me, i know.
there is only ONE, minute, tiny thing you cannot suggest, and that is the use of capitalization on this (or our other) blog(s). on my part, it's just pure laziness. i know the rules of capitalization. i even know the rules of capitalizing newspaper headlines (which is weird, because when i was on newspaper staff in high school, i wasn't a writer - just a lowly photog).
so, let's have it. you tell us what's bothering you about the general use (or MISuse, rather) of the english language. we'll do a little research and either concur with you or set everyone straight. how does that sound?
comment away! or you may send your complaints and/or suggestions via email. we love both.
