Hello all--
Joanne, would that be Ziggy from "Roseanne"? That was the first
thing that came to mind for me...
Regarding the underwear-flavored bean, I noticed that back when the
site first opened (is that the term I'm looking for?), and I must say
that I never, ever got the immoral connotation as did some of the
group. I'm with Amanda; seems nothing more than an attempt at kid-
humor, the 'ewww!' gross-out kind. It blows my mind that that seemed
offensive to some...
And, speaking of Amanda, I have a general question for her regarding
editing: In your experience, what seem to be the most common
mistakes people make with grammar, syntax, spelling, and so forth? I
often notice the same few words misspelled (usually in the same way)
over and over (I seem to find 'definite' spelled 'definate' more than
any other, but perhaps that's just one I always notice), and lots of
misuse with 'there, they're, and their', 'your' and 'you're', 'to'
and 'too' (less so with 'two'), etc. This is just for my own
curiosity, as I'm one of those people with dictionaries next to the
computer for almost daily use, and I'm always going back and forth
over punctuation, sentence structure, etc.
Thanks,
Kelley
