in a perfect world, I would be given a fancy red pen to correct errors

 

Dear eleventy*-billion people that keep screwing up proper grammar:

Please take note:

Incorrect: Is that washer and dryer on sell this week?
Correct: Is that washer and dryer on sale this week?

Incorrect: Do you sale this comforter in blue?
Correct: Do you sell this comforter in blue?

Incorrect: Sell pending.
Correct: Sale pending.

Sale, sell… two different words. Not one and the same. I have heard these words interchanged with each other NUMEROUS times over the last few weeks, and it is driving me crazy. I am ready to go all red-pen-checker on your asses. Seriously.

Sincerely,

Jenni

* today, and today only, “eleventy” is a word.   Because I said so, that’s why.
