Thread Name: BS: Things only YOU notice
Subject: RE: BS: Things only YOU notice
I notice everything, everywhere, all the time, then forget to take the right turning, or even forget where I was supposed to be going. Trees, flowers, birds, clouds, hills. I'm rapidly learning how to spot speed cameras at three hundred paces. I have this irritating habit of suddenly pulling up and jumping out of the car to take a cloud photo. I also do DMcG's counting thing. I love it when someone criticises someone else's grammar or spelling then makes their own mistakes for me to pounce on. I absolutely hate it when people say things such as "razed to the ground," "he was at the epicentre...", "it grew to a resounding crescendo," "prior to" or "albeit". And I still don't know whether those commas should go inside or outside those speech marks. Please don't tell me. I love uncertainty.
