So, we have already talked about principal and principle (as in, although you might be a princiPLEd and ethical researcher, if you are the lead person on your IRB or grant application, you are the princiPAL investigator), and other errors that lots of people don't notice, like discrete (numbers) and discreet (behavior). Sure, I could lament about loose and lose (why is that a common error? wtf is wrong with people???) or the tendency to add apostrophes willy-nilly if the word ends in S, but these are high-brow grammar errors, the kind that aggravate me most because I am only about 85% certain that I am right. okay, are you ready? this one has really been driving me insane lately. please listen up... INSURE is for INSURANCE. And that is it. I know you are using it a lot more than that, but you are wrong. You mean ENSURE. You might even mean ASSURE. But you really, really, don't mean insure. more to follow, just had to expulse that one. ----- Here are some links.. (some are not linked yet) Why do girls love Edward Cullen from Twilight so much? Tips for homeless teenagers Part 1 Part 2 Write for associated content, I barely do and I have made $85. For seriously. Get free stuff at vistaprint. Like business cards (I ordered my first free business cards from them in 2000 for acmezine marketing. ah, acmezine, you were so much fun.) and any other paper products (like super awesome save-the-date magnets, which are gorgeous. That reminds me, I have to tell the Issac story. Oh, did you notice that "Issac" is not how you spell "Isaac"? That's the story). Yes, you have to pay shipping, but on most of their stuff (esp if you watch for sales), that is it. Jenel got her announcements and thank you cards from them, and I am probably designing and ordering my invitations through their site, too. Because $0.50 is what a wedding invitation should cost, dammit.) ---- And then here is a question, because I am only partially hip to the "2.0" internets. What should I use to index links of things I like or want to share? I know there is squidoo, but I don't mean I want to write a whole lens for unrelated things. I guess I should just link things here. And how do I link twitter to facebook, or find people on twitter for that matter?? I so have not investigated the things called digg/delicious/stumbleupon but I think that is what I want. Any ideas? Recommendations? Does anyone think it is stupid to ask questions on a blog that has been inactive for so long that noone reads it? |
