Argh...

Unnecessary apostrophes are the bane of my existence.



Do these snacks belong to SnackWell? No, I don't think they do. So, why is there an apostrophe there? ... Oh, to make them plural?

That's wrong.

Sick and wrong. And totally unnecessary. (Anybody want to guess what brand of snacks I did not buy, based solely on their improper use of an apostrophe? ... Also, I hate raisins, but that's not the point here.)

I wish I could teach the world a lesson on where and how to appropriately use apostrophes.

The End.

Pari is learning possessives in school right now and is adding apostrophes to everything. Like after every letter in every word. It's pretty fun to watch.

Hope it doesn't weird you out that I love reading your blog:) You're very witty and love some of my favorite things, like chocolate and ALIAS.

This last post totally reminded me of this tattoo on ASU football player...

Talk about embarrassing!

Michelle,

It doesn't weird me out AT ALL that you're reading my blog! In fact, I always feel kind of cool when I find out that people who aren't in my immediate family know that this blog (and I) exist. Knowing that people who aren't blood relations read what I write gives me an illusion of having a public, which makes me a little bit giddy. So, thanks for that. :-)

I laughed OUT LOUD at that tattoo! Holy-my-worst-nightmare. Having a permanent typo on your person... I can't imagine anything more horrifying than that! (Except for maybe those ear spacers that make your earlobes all stretched out and hideous. Maybe.)

Thanks for the fun picture. We chocolate lovers and ALIAS fans need to stick together, man! (Esp in the fight against unnecessary apostrophes.)
