Yesterday, someone in management used the term "drownding" near my tender ears. This came from someone who is a well read, talented writer who normally impresses me with her grasp of grammar and spelling. (We already know I'm a spelling and grammar snob, so don't look so surprised.) Sadly for me, bad grammar and spelling seems to be the norm or I wouldn't be so surprised when I see something written correctly. And no, I'm not perfect, and yes, I make spelling and grammar mistakes, but I'm mortified when I see them, because I know better.
I'm reminded of those Facebook pictures that pop up regularly stating something along the lines of "Some days my greatest accomplishment is keeping my mouth shut." So I did.
It was so hard for me not to say something, but I knew nothing good would come out of that for either her or me. Instead, I entertained myself searching for the appropriate visual response:
I feel better now. Thank you.
