I bought her "The Elements of F***ing Style (a parody on Strunk and White, but still informative) for Christmas.

With the addition of Facebook and texting in our daily lives, reading it all the time is almost worse! I constantly want to correct my friends... but, you know, I don't want to be *that* person. I'll silently correct them, sigh and move on!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396590193590796633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355843077386625002.post-68491254570319356742012-04-25T16:55:45.742-04:002012-04-25T16:55:45.742-04:00I am going to go back to read some of your earlier...I am going to go back to read some of your earlier posts.

It was when I went back to college 13 years ago and took a Creative Writing course. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting my page. A few years back you could find the boxed set of Voyage to the bottom of the sea at Walmart. Also about two years ago Mobius scale models released a large scale model of the Seaview, with mini sub, diving bell and flying sub included, as well as a mock up of the command center and figures. It was around 125.00 and yes I own the model. <br /><br />Hope you can find the episodes. Some are available on You Tube and I know that net flix has all four years available in their library of tv shows and movies.<br /><br />Have a great day, and again thanks for the visit.Mark Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478758752131334549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355843077386625002.post-45452880798729993342012-04-25T11:38:03.622-04:002012-04-25T11:38:03.622-04:00It get really crazy when people try to avoid gende...It get really crazy when people try to avoid gender specific language and use their for a singular subject.
