StopSylvia email: "Needs Jesus"

I looked at the title and head it in my head in the same tone a chef might say "needs salt"

I now cannot get the image that followed out of my head.

My mistakes,such as the ones you (pretty accurately) mimic above, are primarily the result of my owning and using a cheapass USB keyboard. Whereas your errors which I pointed out above, seemed to be caused by somethng far more insidious, and I hoped that my pointing them out to you might actually help you to learn something.

By the way, your incorrect usage of "puppy's" reminded me of something Susan and I discussed recently.

We were bemoaning some common spelling, punctuation and grammar errors, and the usage of posessives as plurals was mentioned, upon which I told her of the very first time I recall seeing one (mis)used:

I was in about the sixth grade, riding in the Family car as we drove through ourneighborhood, when I saw a large cardboard box sitting at the curb. Hand-painted lettering on the box read "FREE PUPPY'S AND KITTEN'S".

Indignant as only a snotty sixth-grader can be, I laughed and pointed it out to my siblings.
