Ooh! Grammar pet peeves! My favorite. Should I be shopping right now? Yes. Am I going to? In a minute. So, grammar pet peeves! There are too many written ones, I'm going to concentrate on spoken ones right now...
1. People who use the word "guesstimate"
2. People who say "multiple of times," as in, I've asked you multiple of times to shut up.
3. Any qualifier before the word "unique." Something is unique, or it isn't. So "kind of unique" "pretty unique" and so forth are wrong. It's like saying you're "kind of pregnant."
4. Saying, "I could care less," because it means the opposite of what you're trying to say.
Okay that's enough for now. My husband has gone off to Engerland for a couple of weeks, which means I have to drag
myself away from the keyboard--ha! Plus that stupid subway strike is on, so why bother going anywhere?
I've never been apart from the husband at Christmas since we met...not quite sure how to cheer myself up and regain the holiday spirit, since I actually kind of like the guy. Plus Bella is so freaked out that she crapped all over the floor at 3 in the morning...she's never had an accident since we adopted her, so I think it was more of a rebellion thing. Then she spent the rest of the night smelling James' pillow and whining.
I'm never getting through the next two weeks.
