Oh my gawd. Did you read Louis Menand's review of Eats, Shoots & Leaves (http://www.newyorker.com/critics/books/?040628crbo_books1)? I stink at grammar but love reading about it.

I am a grammar geek. I find typos everywhere. Which is why I had to stop watching the t.v. at the gym (um, when I still went). The typos in the closed captioning were driving me bonkers and I nearly fell off the treadmill. I love it. I am a grammar geek. I find typos everywhere.

"Homily-filled Sunday" is fine. Also, some adjectives end in "-ly" and might want to hook up from time to time with a willing partner, but they often need the protection of a hyphen for safe compounding. ‘Course the “-ly” rule only applies to adverbs. “Homily-filled Sunday” is fine.

Would drive me INSANE. Before I realized how crazy it sounded, the words, "Martinis doesn't have an apostrophe in it," loudly passed my lips at a nearby restaurant. Seeing it on the menu made me feel crazy the whole time I was there. That. Would drive me INSANE.

I tried contacting her through an email address I found on one of her other sites, but I had no luck... I wasn't sure that she was going to get it, but I thought I'd try anyway... any way... arrghh ANYWAY... you made me doubt. Wheww... how's my grammar? =) Can anyone tell Maggie that her ‘About’ link on her nav breaks when accessed from a post?
