    We LOOOOOVE Pearls Before Swine -- fight over the paper in the morning to see who gets the first gut-busting guffaw of the day!

    My bulletin board is filled with scads of cycling ephemera and two comics: the conjugal visits one you hyperlinked and this one -- http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/2009-01-02/.

    Love it!

    I finally signed up for a daily email from comics.com which I can get on my iPod (before I even get out of bed). No paper-wrangling now.

    She smiled as the call of "FORE" came through the window from the golfers as she contemplated the four remaining pieces of chocolate-nut fudge they had left for later.

    Tiger Woods won't be yelling "Fore" for he had at least four illicit affairs.

    I had a friend in college who was dyslexic - spell check was his savior, but indeed homophones were his worst enemy. They are also seriously challenging for the people I know who speak English as a second language.

    Their, there, they're

    They're having their party there...

    Oh, jeez. I read that as homophobes.

    It makes complete sense as a standalone statement but in this thread I had a "where the heck did that come from" reaction.

    Ok so now we do the "change one letter to change the entire sentence" game.

    But it makes sense. With enemies like that who needs friends?

    and now because I live and work in Spanish, where you spell things exactly how they sound, I have transferred that ability to English, which drives my mother crazy in emails "were i right whatever letters/words first come to mind an then use the wrong their/there/they're all over the place".

    Homophones were the bane of my existence when I was teaching English. Some kids never learned the differences/usages no matter what hands-on activities I tried. And judging from communication with other adults, a lot of people don't know correct usage for things like there/their/they're.

    There there, dear. I'm sure they're all doing their best for you over there.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
