My Excuse for Poor Punctuation

...borrowed from a friends blog


“With educated people, I suppose, punctuation is a matter of rule; with me it is a matter of feeling. But I must say I have a great respect for the semicolin; it’s a useful little chap” - Abraham Lincoln


I love Abraham Lincoln even more after reading this.

Did you see this post on PW? I found it entertaining.

Hi, Bethany, Missed you at church and choir yesterday! Funny thing, someone brought me a choir binder because my name was in it, but turns out it was your missing binder! Remember I had given you my email address and that was in the pocket. I have the binder with me now. Suppose I should have left it at church. Let me know what to do. Sorry I wrote on your blog about this, but I couldn't find your email address. God bless! Eleay
