I spend a lot of my life proofreading. When I'm not getting paid for it, I'm scrunching up my eyebrows at menus and road signs, wondering why the universe doesn't give me the job of Global Proofreader. I could angrily stomp around the earth with a spray can and hand out tickets for Punctuation Misuse.I'm undecided on the possessive apostrophe for proper names ending in -s. I asked the two Thomases in my life which apostrophe choice was correct: "Thomas's sock" or "Thomas' sock" . Both chose number two, as number one "looked dumb".
This is my new favorite blog.
UPDATED TO ADD: I'm FAMOUS!!! Or, errr... "famous".

I picked # 2 too. It's the right way.
I tagged you today. :)
Whaddaya mean, you tagged me??
I miss you, Pam. How are you? I'm going to go leave you a message on your facebook page. Leaving you a message on my own blog seems so self-involved.
:)
