Pizza Hut Fails Basic Grammar
As if Apple's grammatical abandonment weren't bad enough, now Pizza Hut has joined the refusal to use proper English grammar in their advertisements. I know that they've chosen the word because it so obviously breaks the rules, but I hardly think th...
Would You Dismantle the Mantel?
Someone noted the other day in a discussion that when you've dismantled something you never say that you're going to mantle it again. As folks often do, that person wondered aloud why the two words were not antonyms and used as such. Naturally, I'v...

Hey, thanks for swinging by! That's a big part of why I started the blog - to find tools and remind myself to use them.

Keep up the good work.
