Hump Day Grammar...and a contest! WIN CUTE UNDIES!

Casual Friday!

So this Grammarphile walks into the ghetto...

Why yes, I *am* damn picky.
So, as I mentioned on Friday, I went shopping.You'd think that with a 30% off coupon, I'd have been able to find something I wanted at Juicy.Yeah. Not so much. There was this one shirt I liked, though. I had it in my hand and was going to buy it. It was hot pink with pretty silver writing on it. It was cute. It was my size. But then I took a closer look...

Happy Black Friday!
Today is Black Friday, and since I'm something of a shopaholic, I'm headed out to join the masses for a day of fiscal debauchery. Among the places I'll be going today is the Juicy Couture store (hooray for 30% off coupons!). On a related note, have I ever mentioned how screwing up the word "couture" is one of my pet peeves? 'Cause it totally is. It's a fashion-related pet peeve of mine right up there with tapered jeans, visible panty lines, and the color chartreuse (which I am convinced nobody looks good in and that all chartreuse clothing should be outlawed).

Happy Turkey Day from Red Pen, Inc.
Happy Thanksgiving from Red Pen, Inc! I hope all of you reading this have a lovely day filled with friends, family, good food, and good spelling. If anyone at your dinner table misspells something silly like "potato," you have every right to banish 'em to the corner, make 'em wear a dunce cap, and not give 'em any pumpkin pie! ;)
