Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

And here's another grammar matter that bugs me:
What's with writing the plural of words like "ghosts" and "priests" with no -s at the end? I've noticed this that last two or three semesters and it makes me tear my hair out (which is not to say "tare my hare out" ).

Ok, I feel the need to add mine.
to
too
and two.
Oh, how often do I see the wrong word writt-en, it seems like people are always leaving off the second o. So maybe they should just use the word also-it replaces.
Ok, I have often fell to the pedal as I usually blank out in the spelling and write it with an e instead. Forgive me I'm actually bad at spelling.
Fine, now that I'm worried about all the careless grammar mistakes I make now, I'll leave. I love comma splices, hope I left a few.

No--I mean they write "ghost" when they mean "ghosts" or "priests" when they mean "priests," "scientist" when they mean "scientists"--jeez, it's enough to make me crazy! Originally Posted by SadieKate
