    Oh my gosh, I'm book-marking this! I hate bad grammar! Not that I'm perfect, once I sent an email to my boss using 'you're' in stead of 'your' in the title, I was mortified! I had to send an immediate apology email! On a slightly separate note, where on earth does the phrase 'quick and dirty' come from?!? Anyone know? It sounds rude!! Ha!

    It's not spelled 'grammar' - it's 'grandma'. What don't you like about her?

    Oh Kittie, I'm disappointed in you : it's an American site! She'll have us all saying 'Can I get?' instead of 'Could I have?', writing the date the wrong way round, and spelling so many words incorrectly.
    I'm buying you a copy of 'Fowlers' English Usage' forthwith!
