I like it when you “Comment” on a blog. It assures me that it was read, and by
someone interested enough to chime in.
You can place comments in two places; on the blog itself, or
when (and if) I post it on Facebook. Of
the two I much prefer the blog. Facebook
comments disappear in a few days, whereas Blog comments are forever. Think a spring dusting of snow vs, glacial
ice.
However, if you do “Comment” on the blog, please do not use
apostrophes. Google maintains a list of
all Comments which, with luck and the help of a grandkid you probably can
access. On this list the humble
apostrophe is translated as '.
Thus “it’s” becomes “it ' s”, which I can’t help but read as ”it
fucking well is.” Same way with haven’t,
won’t, etc. Gentle souls such as my
daughters, sister in law, cousin in law, and several ex-girlfriends are
recorded as using such foul, overly emphatic language. It’s disconcerting. Don’t do it.
I won’t, either. Let's promise.
Four of the mark that will remain nameless in just your last line. It will be hard to follow your request, but I will try.
