I apologize, I'm just not thinking of others. I'll be more careful in the future.

I am just lucky to have a sister with a masters in english to correct me when ever I speak anything incorrectly. I am suprised she doesn't correct my emails to her and send them back for revisions.

Personally I'm waiting for Google to add a word selection widget to my title bar. Then when I want to know if I should use dove or dived I can click a link and it will place the proper word in their for me, eventually the end goal is I think of something and Google does it for me.

No spelling errors, but the word widget isn't up yet.

I have to count to ten to stop myself from posting furiously every time I see someone say "it's a mute point".

We all have our pet peeves.

Or when they say "I could care less" when they mean they couldn't care less.

Wouldn't that work both ways, though?

What about, "I don't mean to be mean , but ...."

You know, I couldn't care less, and although it's a moot point and I don't want to be mean, when I said that "dived" is the correct past tense form of dive, I was stating fact, not opinion. No need for further discussion :P

I'd never heard someone say that before...then my SO pointed out I should have listened harder...she's quick with the wit like that.
