It always comes out "form." <br /><br />And I hope Dr. Phil didn't take my joking as a crack back at him. I was making the joke at my own expense. <br /><br />And glad to help again, Jarrett. I'm not sure how much I'd be able to write on my own if my day job was also writing.

Well, I didn't do it. Spell check did, but still.<br /><br />And great point. I've been struggling with the "block" lately. Trying to write through it since it's all about getting words on the page, but it can be tough. Really enjoyed this post., Nice kick in the butt.

I found one this morning while reading an op-ed article in the New York Times! <br /><br />I see funnier ones when proofreading articles at work: "mute point" (an idea you convey in a game of charades?) and "it perked their interest" (is that shorthand for when a horse's interest is piqued and its ears are perked?).sheila, not lurking today,noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-22361362055449962812009-06-13T23:36:09.423-04:002009-06-13T23:36:09.423-04:00Well, it's been a long day.
