"Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “To.” “To who?” “Actually, it’s to whom.”

When I was a kid, my teacher looked my way and said, “Name two pronouns.” I said, “Who, me?”

I before e ... except when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbor.

Q: What should you say to comfort a grammar nazi? A: “There, their, they’re.”

I have one client who is an absolute stickler for grammar. He frequently points out errors found in emails composed by me and my colleagues. I found it incredibly irritating at first but I realized that after a while my writing improved. I also realized that a well written email can help to diffuse conflict when dealing with a particularly difficult situation/client. For that, I will be forever grateful for his instruction; even if he is a Republican... 😞

His saving grace was that he didn't vote for Trump.

because there was no W in the French alphabet at the time - there really isn't still. No one knows who added the W to the Braille alphabet. Louis Braille was 13 when he created lieterqcy for the blind. He also, fan of music, created a way to code for musical notes.
