Comment on Use your words by Aubrey

Love the photobomb!

As for words, I can be a bit of a grammar/spelling Nazi, and I maintain that the vast majority of my personal errors can be chalked up to Autocorrect or temporary drunkenness. (Example… it’s cubicle not cubical, but I still adore you. And I agree you are underemployed and believe you should have a kickass awesome job because you’re fabulous.) I think having an OCD mother with English as her 2nd language made spelling/grammar a stickler in our household.

Things that make me cringe…
-When people pronounce “ask” as “ax”… “Can I AX you a question?” Um, you want to chop a question up with an AX?
-Inclimate instead of inclement weather. I know, it doesn’t make sense.
-Its vs. it’s. This one is a pet peeve, but I never correct people.
-”Wet your appetite” vs “whet your appetite”… This is a result of my mother forcing me onto the Spell Bowl team.
-”Nip it in the butt” vs. “Nip it in the bud”
-”Peek/Peak my curiosity” vs. “Pique my curiosity”

Just a few. Because I’m nutso.

I also heard that Warby Parker donate glasses to those in need for every pair you buy from them.

We watched Jiro right after this post, so good! I do remember watching Roger & Me in school and being scarred by the bunny-skinning scene.

I love documentaries! And there are so many of them to watch on Netflix and HBOGo streaming.

Exit Through the Gift Shop left me wondering, “Was this really a documentary? Or did Banksy just punk me somehow?” So good like that.

Being Elmo had be loving Sesame Street all over again. Watched it before the controversy and whatnot, and while that made me very sad and disappointed, the documentary and story are still beautiful.

Roger & Me is really the only Michael Moore film I like. Do you remember Mr. Wilson making us watch that in high school Econ?

Lastly, I love Jiro Dreams of Sushi!!! It just makes me happy.
