Not Quite

I just ran across an nice example of the theory of "when in doubt, just spell 'er like she sounds." A writer used 'segway' instead of 'segue'. They're sorta synonymous I guess....if by 'synonymous' you mean one is a smooth transition and the other is a smooth ride until you make the wrong move & fall flat on your ass.

Why yes, I am the Language Police. What's it to you?

And I also imagine that you go all cross-eyed when people write "loose" instead of "lose", or "break" instead of "brake". Am I right?

lol, thanks, I needed that. ; )

No, but it does bug me. What really makes me cross-eyed is someone writing "it's" instead of "its".

I don't think the Tramadol is going to help.

That little peckerwood has been hanging around here for a couple of days now. I think I'll start charging him rent.

I hate freaking comment spammers.
