Not only can many people not spell correctly, write in sentences, or even use proper punctuation, but add to the list folks using words completely out of context. I'm not talking bare vs. bear, or there vs. their, or even quash vs. squash (a rumor is something you quash, whereas a bug is something you squash...) I recently read a movie review where the critic indicated that the movie he saw was define. I'm certain he meant divine! Duh!
A friend of mine has been urging me to seek acupuncture treatments to try and alleviate the discomfort caused by my hot flashes. Believing it is worth trying, I gave it a shot, utilizing the procedure to treat some of my aches and pains simultaneously. It worked like a charm, except that, by the time they were through pricking me, I looked like pinhead!
Buddy, my crazy chocolate lab, can always tell when I'm getting ready to go out. Recently, I was preparing to head out to a movie and wanted to walk him first. I tried to coax King Buddy off of his love seat throne, but, viewing me dejectedly, he merely let out the greatest impersonation of a Marlon Brando sigh that I have ever seen, his body language screaming "she's going out...again..." He dejectedly lumbered off the couch, and proceeded outside to do his business. If they gave out doggie Oscars, Buddy would win-paws down!
I signed up for a Communications course this coming fall, first checking "Rate My Professor" (as previously instructed by some of my young classmates) so I have an idea of what to expect. The consensus is that this particular professor is young and modern, and that it is not necessary to purchase a book for the course. The professor writes a blog for his students. They felt compelled to add that the "ancient" professors would never write a blog...I'm guessing that the notion of a "Boomer Blogger" is inconceivable to the naive little tykes...
