As a proud and long time member of the Internet Grammar Police (who admits to misusing ellipsis and having trouble with tenses), I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate and commend the following posters:

@cherry for correct usage and spelling of one of my favorite words, kerfuffle;

@StylishLady for correctly abbreviating the Latin expression "et cetera" (i.e. etc., not ect.); and

@Moonchilde for correct usage and spelling of a word I had to look up to refresh my memory, execrable.

How weird is it that these things brought a smile to my lips??!

"Grammar Police:  To educate and correct...and nit-pick you to death over petty violations of rules of writing you never heard of."

...which, yes, incorrectly ends the sentence with a preposition, but, hey, the description fits LOL!

Ladies, I thank you all!

edited to correct spelling, I kid you not...roflol!

Love your post! I am also a self-proclaimed member of the spelling and punctuation police! When I hear someone, anyone, use a verb when it should be an adverb, I mentally correct them!! Terrible, I know, but I can't stop myself LOL. And no, I never ever do it aloud.

LOL @MacDUFF!

Although I knew the meaning of the word very well, when I typed it, I had doubts. I had left out the second "e" so had to go back and add it.
