DonRocks Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 And after seeing my comments in a block quote I had to go back to correct a spelling error Q: How do you make a website administrator with OCD think about reaching for the kitchen knife? A: Write what you just wrote. I spent about ten minutes going back-and-forth looking for the error so I could correct it in the quoted version, then said "to hell with it," and cut-and-pasted your new version on top of the other. "It's all good now!" he said, quietly, and with a broad grin, to the ward in the asylum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovehockey Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I originally had "unhealthiness" spelled "unheathiness". But now I may want to join the asylum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (**) Why is "everytime" considered taboo, and "everything" is perfectly proper? Why is "everywhere" perfectly proper, and "everyplace" not? I think it's roughly equivalent to "everything" being standard and "everysandwich" not, but I don't think it involves taboo.

DonRocks Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 I've had enough. I just heard someone on CNN say (for the 5,000th time in my life) "For God sakes!" Stop this! It is poor grammar, and should never be spoken. You have two choices, each with very different meanings, but both correct: 1) For God's sake ... 2) ... forsakes God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
