We don't want no gas, regardless of how noble it is, on our faces. Evar. :-)

Are you sure you're not a school teacher,lol? I actually spell checked and corrected a receipt from our car salesman, in the dealership.

Haha...as a matter of fact, I taught grammar, punctuation, word usage, vocabulary, and spelling to court reporters studying for our state's very rigorous exam. Loved my job.

But I hope you and all notice that I never correct an individual poster. Oh, wait, that's not true. I have on occasion pointed out errors in a post in which the person was correcting or pointing out errors in others' posts. I figure that they deserve the same treatment. :-)

I appreciate proper spelling and grammar. What I noticed is the cute pup in your avatar. @suzyQ3

@skyblue, that cute pup is our ten-year-old Cody, who is mistaken all the time for a young pup. She's probably a mix of Rhodesian ridgeback and Lab, but she's not talking. :-)

She is one amazing dog -- smart as as a whip, very loving, but also protective. Our grandchildren call her Madame Cody.

Thanks for noticing her.

Big or small, old or young, they are all "pups" to me! Sweet story about yours! @suzyQ3 Thanks for sharing!😁

I don't think I'm a guilty party with the misspelling of argon, um argan... but anything is possible with me. I know what you mean about certain words that you hate to see constantly misspelled.

When it comes to poor grammar, I throw my hands up. It drives me batty.

BTW, that was a lame joke. I know it's an A not an O. Arrrrrgan Oil!

It's Argan oil. Not argon. Argon is a gas. Argan is the correct spelling.

I was about to post about this. And then saw it had already been discussed. So I figured it would be better to avoid duplicating a thread.

I see this mix up so often. And yes I realize that there are much worse issues in the world. This little glitch just keeps catching my eye in this forum. Not a biggie.
