Fairies vs Ferries: A Showdown

And if I could BE any of the princesses, I think I'd go with Sleeping Beauty. What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by three magical ferries?

Yes, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by three magical ferries? Does one act as a time-travel machine? Sign me up.

The Stickler in Me

I admit it: I am what Lynne Truss in her book Eats, Shoots, and Leaves calls a stickler. It bothers me when people mix up words (their, they're, there/ it's , its); when people do not punctuate things correctly; when people use too many exclamation points and kill their point. I have been known to correct peoples' blogs, edit papers ruthlessly, and even to email website managers to inform them of conventional errors I've found on their sites. Now, I'm not for public humiliation (although I do think The Scarlet Letter is a great book), but on this blog I'm going to publish the errors I find while reading. This is not to be spiteful or mean; most of the errors I find are amusing--because they alter the meaning, sometimes quite drastically. Don't worry, I won't name names or cite sources, but if you recognize yourself think of this as an educational learning experience for you to improve your mechanics skills. And remember to proof read!
