EDIT AND DELETE~
sometimes, when i have nothing better to do (ha- when is that???) i read past entries... and i am so appalled by my editorial mistakes that i am inches away from spending the next year just sitting at my desk correcting them!
i can't believe how many times i find things like the word YOUR mistakenly used for YOU ARE... or a run-on sentence that rivals a jack gantos novel! it's sick i tell you!
although i never professed to be a writer-- story-teller maybe-- skilled writer, not even close! but that doesn't mean that i don't cringe every time i see a big mama of a mistake out there for all to see-- i still have a little pride that doesn't want people to think i am that in need of an english 101 class. meh- maybe i am and i'm just delusional!
well it's okay their seems to be the write way to do thing's and a wrong way- its all a matter of how won looks at it-- write???
i think i just need to hire a personal editor for future posts-- anyone game for the job?

What does it pay? I'm highly certified in English 101...I took it a mere three semesters ago.
was "won" on purpose? I love you.
Other pet peeves of mine (which you are innocent of): confusing its and it's, less vs. fewer, and making a word possessive when you mean to make it plural (eg. "pancake's" instead of "pancakes"). Freaking unforgivable.
