Not true, Kitsune!!! I can pettle pedallers next to me -- that's one of the main reasons we need to learn to ride with only one hand on the bar. Now I'm all paranoid that I spelled pedallers wrong. Oh bugger!

I visited c.i.c.l.e. a couple weeks ago and they have assorted news articles on their site, and one had "peddling" in the headline... so I borrowed a name (I don't know why... ) and simply commented "pedal! pedal! your spelling teacher is weeping!
.
The thread had a couple other comments (the first taking me to task for being too critical!) but before long somebody from cicle posts taht hey, they could use some help editing... does Cassie want to volunteer? (In the meantime I'd posted another correction, though I started with "nice article.")
So I guess I"ll email 'em and volunteer as myself ... BE YOURSELF always

Time for a reminder - we pedal our bikes!
Thanks V for starting this thread - but I think it needs a bump out of obscurity again. My eyes have started seeing posts again where women must be selling their bikes...
- peddling = selling
- pedaling = riding
I don't know about you, but I pedal my bike; it's definitely not for sale!www.denisegoldberg.com

My department chair just circulated this review on the book The War Against Grammar. I find it refreshing to hear that I and the other grammar grinches here are not alone in our distress over the state of grammar these days. I can't wait to read the whole book, now that I've seen the review.

I thought it was funny when we (unfortunately) wound up eating at a big buffet style chain restaurant a couple of years ago, and after you got your main course on a plate, you could go over to a huge condiment bar with a big sign that read "FIXIN'S". Did the food somehow need to be "fixed" before it was edible??

Methinks some of us need to straighten out the use of complimentary as found in the topic thread about personality of significant other. (See under "Cycling".)
It's..uh.."complementary". But no doubt, there will be compelling, but not totally accurate reasons for the other adjective.
