(7,715 posts)This is a COMPLETE tangent, but the image in your post made me laugh out loud!
Recently, someone posted an article about the sad passing away of the founder of The Apostrophe Society. I think (but I'm not sure) the author of the great book Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation joked that she was in the militant wing of The Apostrophe Society!
I have to say that the older I get, and the faster I type, and hit send, the more mistakes I am seeing in my own written communication. I used to be a fanatic when it came to grammar and punctuation with my colleagues, but I am taking it a bit easier. The rapid-fire communications we have are a good thing and a bad thing.
I truly marvel at the ability of some DU folks (even on this thread, and MineralMan, I'm specifically referring to you!), who can type large amounts of text, with perfect grammar and punctuation, on the first try. That is most definitely not me.
In any event, I love this post!
