Are These Stories True?
All of the posts to this website are based upon true stories.
Someone did actually say, “it sounds like an exercise in fertility”, when she meant to use the term “futility”.
My Bad!
According to www.urbandictionary.com, the phrase "my bad" "tends to drive literate people up the wall in absolute irritation" as discussed in my June 20 blogpost entitled A Flippant Apology. That has been my experience when my children use this phrase instead of saying "I'm sorry". This and other language gaffes have inspired me to create this website. -- Poor William
