Last night, I dreamed about grammar.
*
I need to find a life. Or at least a hobby.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)

I think you must be the first person I have ever known to have such a dream. Amazing. I hope it came to a full stop fairly quickly.

Hehehe! That’s the end of that dream. Period. 🙂

I can honestly say I’ve had a dream like that. It occurred when I was working as a freelance editor. I guess you can never get away from your job!
Have a good weekend. ☺

🙂 Oh, T.Bud, I feel sorry for you. Been there, still got my foot in that doorway. My spelling has gone to pot. Thank goodness for Google’s “did you mean ___?” and “showing for ___.”

You’re not alone. I love, love, LOVE grammar! It appears you are my soulmate and, because of this fact, I have a gift for you. An entire cartoon about the use of a semicolon. It makes me happy and it would be selfish of me not to share with you!
Grammar nerds unite!! Happy 6WS!

Ron, “The Grammar Nazi”, got himself into some trouble at work some time ago when he proofed / edited an email from the agency’s Director and it somehow fell back into the Director’s hands….
I think I should have gotten a promotion, but no.

I use exclamation marks almost all the time in brief comments. Is that sin?

I get a kick out of Grammarly’s work. My friend shares a lot of it on Facebook. I didn’t realize that exclamation point usage in the comment page was a sin, mea culpa. I like to show my enthusiasm. 🙂 It isn’t a French thing, more of an American thing.

It’s fascinating the difference that Oxford comma makes to the meaning. I think I am also bit of a grammarnerdv- I have been known to edit intrusive apostrophes from comments on my blog.

I’ve dreamt of individual words and then looked them up if I could remember them. Generally, I get them from books. I once dreamt I was sitting on a fence talking to my boss. This told me I was ambivalent about the guy. Dianne
