Argh!<br /><br />Hi Dale, I *am* having a great day, thanks! And I agree about people using "lay" for "lie", but the one I see the MOST is the its/it's carelessness.

I'm also not an expert. My language related pet-peeves are words and phrases that are overused and try too hard to be hip. <br /><br />Jump the shark.<br />But I digress.<br />Bling.
