"I Could Care Less..."

Best quote I've seen today referred to that line - "I could care less" - and the response was: yes, it's grammatically correct, it just doesn't make sense! Can I make a screensaver with those words? 

They Don't Say That Here!

If you're going to write a book, or a series of books, set in Tennessee (say...Ellery, TN?), you may want to get an American, perhaps even a Southern, editor. They won't miss phrase like "have a lie-in" or "in hospital" ---I promise you, no one in Tennessee says it like that! 

Those are just the glaring errors that take a reader completely out of the story...which tends to ruin the sheer pleasure of reading. Boo.

Break Time is Over

Sometimes we need to take a break from our lives...emotionally, physically, mentally...but eventually that break has to end, and we have to resume our progress toward a goal. Without a goal, we never have a feeling of accomplishment, of achievement.
