Speak Better Grammar

Nothing At All To Do With Grammar, Just Fatties

If you start to wonder if your diet is making you fat, take a look at this site.  It’s gotta make you feel better about what you had for lunch.  If what you had for lunch belongs on this site, proceed to the nearest ER.

Maybe I’m Not Meant to Text

Filed under: Friends, Grammar — Vander Kitten @ 4:53 pm

The kids these days use special texting language.  And when I say the kids, I mean my friends.  I think a grammar-freak like me isn’t meant to text.

I stumbled upon this article today, and it just proves to me that I shouldn’t try to talk my friends into using “tonight” when they would rather use “tonite” or even (shuddering) “2nite.”  Never mind that I’ve posted about this before.

What’s your favorite texting abbreviaton?  I promise not to judge you.

(By the way, I’m impressed that I allow myself to use “text” as a verb.  That’s coming a long way.)

February Blahs

Filed under: Reading — Vander Kitten @ 2:15 pm

Hi readers.  Sorry for the month (!) delay in writing.  Today there is sun shining in Mountain View, and that changes a lot.  But I’ve had some February blahs, despite fun things happening.  Amelia finally joined us, I’ve had friends visit, and did I mention that Amelia was born?  But we also had seven days of rain in a row.  Ugh.  I hated it. 

I’ve been trying to get updates to this blog out to you, but I have three different drafts going and can’t seem to get to the end of them.  Anyway, I’ve updated What I’m Reading, and have started to list the books I’ve read this year.  Each end of year, I wonder how many books I’ve read, and I never know.  I’m just sad that it’s February and I’ve only read two.  I have some spare time on my hands the next few weeks, though, so I plan to change that. 

Anyway, I hope to have beaten back my Blahs and finish some posts soon.  Hope you are all doing well.
