1. She's passionate about her grammar but still acts all shocked if someone corrects their grammar for her benefit.
2. She's not afraid to read her own work aloud.
3. She introduced me to Prof Doc, among others.
4. She enjoys bringing people over to the dark side of blogging.
5. She's funny.
6. She's a dab hand at crisis management.
7. She's purty.
8. She started this Ten Things Tuesday craze amongst our group of folk.
9. She likes her some Hot Folk. (I just realized how much awful colloquial grammar I'm using in this post. It's not on purpose. I don't actually want to give her an aneurysm on her birthday.)
10. She's my friend.
A big Happy Birthday to you, my dear, and many more!

I love you.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I DON'T like it when others modify their grammar for me. I don't want to be the kind of person people are uncomfortable talking (or typing) around.
And yes, I do loves me some hot people....
Wait. Is Chili a New Yorker, too? I'm so confused.
ReplyDeleteAlso: HOW THE HELL ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR RATE OF BLOGGING?
Lord almighty.
Rich, I can't believe I've outrun the hyperactive, ADD guy. YOU can't keep up with me? That's an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteChili is from my home town. She's coming to visit NYC in the warmer weather, though, we think.
C, I don't know if one can take on the grammar crusade and not have people be a little wary of their usage in front of you. I mean, isn't the point of the crusade to make people aware of their usage and of correcting it?
Yes, you're right, that IS the point of the crusade; I just hate thinking that people might not speak (or type) rather than risk getting it wrong...
