In the middle of reading this, flipping around, in the back there is a usage section and there are word pairs that get confused:

  • naval, navel - What? Come on...
  • miner, minor - You gotta be kidding me.
  • ordinance, ordnance - I kind of get this.
  • straight, strait - That's it, I am outta here.

Am I overreacting?

Those aren’t usage issues, they’re more spelling errors.

When I think common usage errors, I think there/their/they’re, to/too, and you’re/your...

Like you, I would’ve hoped that a book on syntax would have recognized that.

It’s unbelievable how often I get notes from school  teachers that have those errors. 

‘Please be sure to sign the waiver if your going on the field trip.’

’Their all looking forward to it.’

Good lord, I almost added a golf post to my status report. Good thing my buddy stopped me from posting that along with this...

You quoted before I edited. What’s funny is I changed it to 0.4 from1.4 in the first place 🤪

And after I edited the first time 

I added this here, because it's also a really dumb thing. Last time I try to write a report and blog at the same time, and thank goodness for "zoom" screen share. 🙈

Recently saw an ad for a local supermarket's "Big Seafood Sale". They had an incredible special on MAIN lobster tails! I never knew that there was one main lobster in the sea that provided all the lobster tails!

Brie Larson was good, too.   She’s got a lot of charm.   Since she may be one of the big guns in the Marvel Universe going forward, it’ll be nice to see how they flush out her character. 

Pretty sure he means "flesh out." 🙂

I don't have a bitching wedge. I wonder if I should look into getting one to fill out my set. :-P

Local online paper wrote a good story about a state wrestling champ being a good golfer.  

Polar opposites: Three-time state wrestling champ is also top golfer

This was my response to the writer of the article:

"An 18-hour round can take up to five hours to play -- providing you're lucky" (note actual quote) 

Good article. It's nice to highlight something positive in the area. 

That being said, the reality is that a 5 hour round is sad. With the new rule changes in place a foursome should be able to compete in much less time that that.

Good grief! It's getting into the bizarro world. In Monday's paper, at the very top of the front page are two sports blurbs to clue you as to what in the sports section. One of the blurbs read, "Greg Woodland wins US Open". I pull out the sports section to read the article and see this. There's a picture of Woodland giving the fist pump after sinking the birdie putt at 18, with a caption below correctly identifying him as Gary Woodland. Then, the headline of the article reads, "Overland holds off Koepka for first major title." Overland?! Where the Hell did that come from? 

I was so pissed that I called the paper to complain. I told them that if they needed a proofreader I was available. The person I talked to could not have cared less about the paper's business, and no job offer was forthcoming!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
