Let me start out by saying…….I love the Oxford comma.

But I also like messing with language.

Punctuation can be a bully.

Don’t get me started…

*****Funnilicious Mistakes*****

Words and punctuation should be made to entertain…

They are the bestest fun to play…with…….

I love using & abusing them.

I have an on-going/personal feud with apostrophes & plural possessive words ending with “s”…

*****Weird Al Yankovic’s “Word Crimes”*****

I would like to know who is the person who automatically keeps underlining my “bad spellings” in red…….(?)

…….maybe I want them to be missspelled!?!        Don’t tell me how to write!!

 

 

 

Well, duck!

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

…….So, I ignore them.

Me & Mrs. Malaprop have a lot in common.

*****Mrs. Malaprop Explained*****

A word that sounds close (or better yet rhymes) is good enough for me…

A variety of words & phrases are even betterer and funner.

*****Fun Malapropisms*****

 

The spoken word.

 

 

 

The whispered word.

 

 

 

The shouted word.

 

 

 

The hissed word.

 

 

The signed word.

But I’ve decided that it all boils down to prepositions (& sometimes adverbs).

They make the world go ’round…….they’re the bomb.

 

Hey Paolo!…………………what’s that book you like?………………….put it in the “Comments” Section (it’s the goodest book).

When I was in high school, I had to memorize a list of verbs that did not require an “ly” ending on their accompanying adverb…………..(and why is there an “an” before “ly” and not an “a”???—–I do not no?)-(grammar is the laxative for my mind).

Now let’s see if I can remember that list…….(it was rote-stuff that was pounded into my head)…….here goes…

*****be;  become;  seem;  grow;  look;  appear;  feel;  smell;  taste;  remain;  sound;  stay……………I think that’s it*****

(Disclaimer***Lola you’re going to hate this post…….all it is is a series of digressions***)

Prepositions and adverbs have the last say…

Adjectives are always nice……

But you can get in a world of hurt…….if you use an adverb inappropriate…….(she says meaningfully & sincerely)…

 

*******Late edition addition——-I also just adore (or is it abhor) parenthetical expressions*******
