Me during winter break with all my students gone- and with them, their grammar errors that largely inspire my posts.
Please inspire me while my muses are out; bombard me with your burning grammar questions and/or pet peeves.

I'm curious to know if the word ain't will ever get respect grammatically speaking, or whether it'll always be cast in an ill light.
Hey, M.P. It's been too long. I hope you're well. Is the photo from "The Truth About Cats & Dogs"?
Take care and enjoy your time away from your muses.

I'd like to know if a goblin needs to be a chef or a cook before they can be a hobgoblin.
I posted a short story on my blog..I am sure that my errors would keep you busy for months!!! ;}
Is there a good rule to follow to know the difference between compound words, hyphenated words, and two separate words? I lazily rely on Word, but that's not teaching me anything.
Enjoy your break from the students/muses for bad grammar!
Ask and ye shan't receive. :P
OH! Here's a question: what do you think of emoticons?
Okay, um, well...
Nothing is coming to mind. It could be because of the wine I've consumed! Yeah, how about emoticons? Happy faces seem to making it everywhere into my tweets and it's so annoying.
How do you feel about students using abbreviations in their papers like they were sending you a text message?
I want to know how many made up words you see in your students' papers? I would love to hear some of the things they come up with.
What about parenthesis? Can periods be included inside parenthesis? What are the general rules with parenthesis? Probably really basic questions, but I'm not the best with grammar. Thanks in advance. :)
I have a request! With all the awful weather in Buffalo recently, I've heard a lot of "Drive Safe", "Drive Safely", "Drive Careful", "Drive Carefully". How about an adverb update? :D
I love this blog! It's really fun! This is a great post. Very clever!
