The title should read 'I'm AN adultwork member...' - Pet hate!!
Sorry Heather... I tried to let it go... I really did!
Oh lovely, another grammar pedant
I have to confess to being one myself. Despite having a blind spot when checking my own compositions - so I'll rely on you to puck me up Gia!
Having said I am forever being picked up for leaving out words, or putting unfinished sentences in reports, because of my butterfly mind!
I've always been able to spell... When I was 5 my sis used to sit me down with the encyclopaedia and pick out random words and I could just spell them... I guess it is the verbal equivalent of those who have a mathematical mind... Throw two numbers at my Dad and he can just see the answer...
And I guess all of the thesis writing and proofreading has something to do with it!! Sorry guys!!
I think I've said it on here before that the 'a' thing is a pet hate of mine...
As in I get messages all the time saying 'Are you free today for 'A' outcall to...'
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr........
Use 'an' if the next word is a vowel!!
