Design Flaw
I am the first to admit I am lazy, though I would prefer to describe myself as an efficient or creative worker. It is not that I don’t like hard work (well, I don’t really); it is more that I believe we are all better served by the conservation of energy. Which means I hated […]
Optimism
I can’t remember which of my friends shared this on Facebook, but I still smile when I see it, even after repeated views. I keep hoping for a world in which such admonitions are unnecessary! Some things should just be instinctive.
A Matter of Survival
How do I get on these email lists? I have no idea. The sad thing is, I’m not paranoid enough to really appreciate them when I do read them. The ones offering me various weapons to protect myself, just in case, I usually delete unread. Guns don’t kill people. However I have the impression people […]
Lighten Up A Little!
Tempting as it is, there will be no post-election analysis today. Half of Canada is celebrating, the other half thinks the country is on a fast track to hell. I will be weighing in on the election results, but today is not the right time. Canadians need a good laugh this morning. So does the […]
Every so often I go searching the internet for grammar jokes. Does that make me weird? Probably. With that admission out of the way, here are a few I enjoyed recently. (Yes, I know, strictly speaking not all are about grammar, but they all have to do with language usage.)

It may have something to do with her age. My mother is 87 after all. As we get older we seem to lose some of our filters. We say things that we might have only thought but not said when we were younger and perhaps more concerned with other people’s opinions. Mind you, I don’t […]
No Parking
The sign seems pretty self-explanatory, doesn’t it? I mean, what part of “reserved” is unclear? The sign marks my parking spot. Our complex has assigned parking, with an exclusive spot for each homeowner. Every couple of months though I come home and find someone parking in that spot. I have never been able to figure […]
Today’s Deal
But 1 Get 2 FREE! Sounds like a great deal. I’m not sure I need more ties (does anyone?) but at that price I would at least look. But there’s a catch. The offer, which showed up in my email this morning from a Moores, the Canadian men’s clothing chain, is good today only. Today […]
Can You Read This?
I know, but it is fun anyway.
