Oh it's a dangerous life pointing out members grammar mistakes, best to just be comfortable and let them go.

So do you know how to comfort a grammar Nazi?
“There, their, they’re.”

Bwahahaha! That's gold.

I cannot tell you how difficult it was to write that other post when every part of it goes against the grain. It's like scratching your nails down the blackboard.

A long time ago when I had just graduated from Teacher's Training college, I used to date a very beautiful English teacher.

She dumped me however:

She didn’t like my improper use of the colon.
