My favorite typo of all time is one from an old D&D manual. Instead of "Minions of Set," it read "Minionion of Set." Cocktails, anyone? Gibsons from hell?

So a very special Minionion of Typeset, perhaps. ;)

Let me just say this: This wasn't about grammar, actually, despite how the entry apparently reads. I would like to believe that those who know me in person understand this as an extension of an ongoing discussion of the language of "I'm better than you" as expressed in social settings. And even I, the champion of poking fun of the pompous asses who do that to myself and the people I defend, even I have irrational buttons where I do that to others because I have been trained from childhood to do so, and for no other reason. In theory, this was about poking fun at ourselves, not about correcting language. And if you'd ever met my father, it certainly was about laughing about my childhood.

My degree is in communication, not grammar. I've looked at your blogs, and I stand in awe of your knowledge. I can't imagine how you found my post, or that anyone would care to read what I wrote. I am flattered beyond measure. But to take the things I write in any seriousness, well, that way madness lies. ;)

Nah, totally cool. How would you have known?

"Correct" grammar most often refers to "correct class speech," as in one is either one of "us," or one of "them," as indicated by subtle language choices. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with being "right" or "wrong." It has to do with being essentially "of the body, Llandru" (to use a Star Trek reference) and certainly, my entire upbringing was all about "we don't do that." You know, to this day, I still don't know who the hell "we" are. But you bet your ass I know what "we" do and do not say, that's for damn sure.

Your language blog rocks. How on earth did you find mine?
