For Whom the Bell Tolls....

Greetings and Salutations, Ladies!

Yesterday was a stressful day for me at work, however, I DID get to use my favorite word: behoove. I try to use the word "behoove" every single day. It doesn't always work its way in my daily conversations, but I try!

Once at my son's school one of the teacher's aides used the word "whom" properly, so I gave him some props. He did not at all take pride that (1) he did indeed use the word correctly (after a preposition such as for, with, etc.,) and (2) it was recognized and appreciated. I was a little disappointed because grammar, punctuation and spelling are hugely important to this former Catholic school gal!! Nothing is more pleasing to me (ok, a few things are a little more pleasing to me) than having a discussion over the correct usage of words, definitions, proper grammar.

It would behoove me to get off the computer and finish getting ready for work, where I will see Neesie with whom I work.

*mwah* Hope to see you soon, CC!!

It is amazing how difficult it is for so many people to grasp the most basic concepts of the English language.
Can't wait to see you too!!!
