A real example of how important proofreading is. This was sent to me by a friend who caught it before the document left her office, but both she and her boss missed it in the first few rounds. This is a mistake I make a lot. Can you find the error?
My sister shared this with me. Remind me not to take this particular walk trail! In some cases, punctuation makes ALL the difference.
I was originally interested in this Justin Bieber story days ago just because I was actually there (and didn’t realize that’s what was happening). But today’s headline teaser … again … caught my attention for a different reason. Seriously local Fox News. “Loosing his lunch”? As opposed to “tighting his lunch”? Losing and Loosing are different — learn it!

As promised, this has been going around Facebook and Pinterest for the last several months, but makes my point about serial (or Oxford) commas pretty clearly.
Since the subject was apostrophes this week (or, more appropriately, apostrophe fails), I thought it was timely to share this picture taken and shared by Daddy Doin’ Work, a page I follow on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/daddydoinwork) by a guy who talks about his first time daddy experiences and is hard at work achieving happy. DDW gave me permission to share this with you. I guess if you think an apostrophe belongs, put it everywhere you can — except where it really belongs!
Time for a grammar giggle. I took this picture at a local grocery store shopping center. I’ve passed it multiple times and I notice it every time. Apparently, the Club belongs to the Nail … or the owner’s name is Nail … or they don’t understand possessives.
