I blame spell check. If a word passes through spell check's filter, it must be fine, right? WRONG. Re-read what you're written especially if you're about to send an email to the whole company. Take this to heart even more so if you print something. (I once worked at ExecuTrain where we received a written thank you note to all the "Executrix" trainers. It made us giggle for days.)

Before hitting send, remember this:

  • Advice/Advise - The former is the noun; the latter the verb. If you are giving advice, then you are advising.

  • Intact/In tack - You mean the first one. Yes, you do. Unless, of course, you actually *are* referring to something inside a small nail or push pin...

And if you're unsure on the your/you're or there/their usage, I suggest a quick review.

Okay...but do you have any advise to keep Bean's diapers in tack while he has teething poops for days?? If you can advice us about you're experience with blowouts and how to maintain diapers at there maximum capacity, we'd be ever so thankful. If need be, if you could just insure that the diaper holds, you know, like with an insurance policy, that would be the bomb.

Steal anything from this site and you'll be sent to your room without dinner.

Curious?

If you picture everything the Catholics say you should be, and then reverse damn near all of it, you'll have a good idea what I'm all about.

I can be loving and a pain in the ass, all in the same breath (it's my special talent). I have strong opinions, but am willing to listen to others. If you want to discuss politics or religion, finance or pop culture, .
