I'll say it again:

My interest was piqued by her peaks. So I peeked.
Then my interest peaked.

I so want to ask why Nelson feels the need to claim ownership of a stupid brass door knocker.

The door knocker should read Nelson or maybe even The Nelsons. No apostrophe!

Feels so good to get this off my chest.



This is my pet peeve. I want to ask, "The Nelson's what?"


The right question would be "The Nelsons' what?" If it said "Nelsons'" I would argue that it's not technically wrong because it's the Nelsons' house.

This may have been mentioned, but people who write about balling their eyes out. It's bawling. How would you ball your eyes?
