    There's also that little lower case "i" a la ee cummings toward the end there, but that's an honest typo...not a malapropism such as a misused there, they're or their or a your, you're, yore!

      I seem to make honest typos a lot on EP although I have seen much worse than mine.

    "bothers me a lot...not ALOT...A LOT"



    LOL ... one of my teacher's pet peeves was "alot"! (Not that I ever committed that particular mortal sin!)

      That is one of my pet peeves as well. Another really big one for me (in class, not on EP) is "your instead of you're". What the hell is so dang hard to understand about that? Our librarian actually uses "your" when it should be "you're". I have discreetly corrected her more than once! Human error, I suppose.

    You are correct. Even the most meticulous commit (and miss) errors from time to time. Since we are on the subject, please note that the third paragraph of your story contains a spelling error (i.e., "gammar")...

      I figured someone would point out errors. Typo will be corrected later.

      You're being modest. I'm sure you did it intentionally as a didactic tool...

    Don't worry about it ... we all do ... But, keep on writing and share ... that's the key thing.

      Thank you! I'm trying to learn to overlook it even in myself when on EP.
