Apostrophe Misuse — Now there’s a thing that peeves a lot of people.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
And speaking of parties, while he’s not an English teacher, I want to give a shout out to Richie Sambora, lead guitarist for the band Bon Jovi, for his birthday today. And if you knew my affinity for Bon Jovi, you wouldn’t be surprised that I included the band’s members on my birthday list. (After all, if you’ve been following me long, you remember that I also acknowledged Jon Bon Jovi on his special day.) While Richie isn’t an author, he is a song writer. Happy 55th Birthday, Richie!
Editors for outdoor mags hate semicolons; it’s not Hemingway. I put them in just so they can flex, then tell them that I’m confident enough in my masculinity to use a semicolon if I want to. I’m sure the readers won’t mistake me for Virginia Woolf.
lol
“confident enough
in his masculinity
use semicolon”
I’ve always thought that it was Hemingway’s hatred for semicolons that lead to his suicide; besides, too many “and’s” ruins the soup, or something like that.
lol
That made me laugh, too! 😉 Have a great weekend! 😀
Bwaaahahaaaa! Have a wonderful weekend! 😀

Heres to you and Richie S., Rachel. You know I left it out on purpose. And you give love a bad name. 🙂
LOL! Thank’s M’ark! 😉 Have a great weekend. Or in the immortal words of Bon Jovi, “Have A Nice Day!”
!!! A plus on that one, Rachel.
LOL! Hey, you haven’t started the new job yet, and already you’ve ignored two of my (very clever I might add) messages to you on the job post and the long trailer post. But don’t worry, I won’t be paranoid. I’ll chalk it up to WordPress issues didn’t notify you. (I just didn’t want you to think I ignored YOU.) 😉
I will go check now, Rachel. Chalk it up to the last two days spent at the jazz festival!
No worries. You can’t go wrong with a jazz festival! 😀
