Ooooo, cool! I have a dusty, musty, well-worn copy of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style on the shelf above my computer. I could almost retire it for that site. I've had the book since high school though, making it an antique.....

I don't know if I have Strunk and White but I did have the APA style book.

Had to add that one. I hope you don't mind. It's from BYC.
I also have a book called Painless Grammar but I hardly ever look at it.

I am afraid to say anything on BYChickens. It doesn't go over well even when I try to be lighthearted about it. Usually though I want to rant about chicken people not using correct terminology about chickens.

LOL

hmm...so it isn't the chickens, it is the chicken owners...no wonder they are not thrilled --LOL

they might peck you to death cause you riled their feathers....

Cassandra,

That put a smile on my face.

 

[Henrietta23]

I have to agree about BYC. I enjoy it but with so many people it's easy for someone to take a joke the wrong way, even if a post is made in the jokes section!
I love that rabbit smilie (or is it smiley?) I have a white rabbit and it makes me think of him!

 

[dacjohns]

After doing a real quick web search I have surmised that it is smiley and the plural is smileys. Humph, that just flies in the face of accepted spelling conventions. But then I also found "smilies". Oh, the horror of American English and common usage.

Is phish the korrect spelling for those things that swim in water?

Ain't English grand?
