Personal Pet Peeve

This may not bother you, but when I have one of my let's surf blogs moments, I get so perturbed by spelling mistakes. It's understandable that someone may have missed something, but for the love of Pete, read your post before you publish. Take a few minutes. I read a couple of posts on one blog and was mentally tsk tsk tsking, when one post was titled What do you do with a BA in English?. I was shocked. Every post has/had at least three spelling and/or grammatical errors. How can you possibly have a degree in a language of which you have so little mastery?

Then I clicked one of her links to another blog of one of her friends. The title of her entire blog had drownding in it. DROWNDING???? Have none of your friends advised you that's an error? Haven't you noticed yourself? Criminy*.

I don't claim to possess flawless spelling or grammar and I make my own mistakes, but I do try and read my posts over so I can avoid irritating myself. Or irritating others.

*I'm working on reclaiming ol' timey words and phrases. Things like criminy, gosh, good golly and my personal fave Jeez louise. I'm also a fan of saying Easy peasy, lemon squeezy
