Just a Thought: Words

Word Crimes

Weird Al has a big Dic -tionary!  Here's his latest.

Quite a few of my pet peeves are addressed in this funny video. One that wasn't is the use of (of) instead of ('ve) as a contraction as in should've, not (should of). When I see that written by people my own age - who clearly should know better, it burns my biscuits. They're just lazy and should've been taken to the wood shed.

I suppose most of this can be directly related to the Twittertube demanding the use of so few characters, but there's no need to carry it over into writing.

Just my 2 - cents, plain.

More later.

This Isn't That Hard

And they are pet peeves of mine.  I cringe especially when the wrong word is used in a sentence by a teacher or professional of any kind.  It really isn't that hard, people.  Just laziness, I guess.

And so it goes.
