My irksome habit is when someone says "should of" instead of "should have" or "would of" instead "would have." It makes my head do something that reminds me of a television program that I watched on electroshock therapy. Love the blog!

I remember Skellie's post... that one was a doosey. I wrote a response on my blog called "why great writing DOES matter online" as a rebuttal! While great writing doesn't guarantee success, dumb writing mistakes can choke the life out of a blog rather quickly. Three of these five are favorite pet peeves of mine, LOL!

I use "quality" all the time. I never know what else to use when describing the type of stones and materials I use in my jewelry. Oh well. The "irregardless" word drives me bonkers. I never knew about "hopefully" though...it does make sense.

It's great to meet another language-o-phile ;). The whole idea is really just to play. I'm going to 'splain what I was doing with this post in my next post. For everyone who took the time to comment, I sincerely appreciate you and love the fact that we could play a little with this idea. It's the discussion that helps us learn and there's really no absolute right or wrong about this; context changes everything. On a side note, remember that this is a blog that's all about experimenting, so here's some food for thought: this post had absolutely nothing to do with language, usage, grammar, spelling, dummies, smarties, wrong, or right. Now, aren't you curious to know what it was really about? Maybe you already do know. All will be explained . . . You all are marvelous!
