"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

One Of My Bugbears...
I get irritated by the misuse of apostrophies. I used to feel like a dreadful old pedant for making such a big thing of it... and then the book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" hit the bestseller list.
However, I was delighted to find a young man having a rant on You Tube about much the same thing...
THis kid is funny.
ReplyDeleteReally. He's got natural comic timing.
I'm gonna watch his other stuff.
haha! He was funny!
ReplyDeleteBut he makes a good point! Barely anyone can use an apostrophe properly any more!
