Today, a Thanksgiving-appropriate lesson, along with a complementary teachable moment provided by Nextdoor yesterday. (I'm realizing that the Nextdoor author capped their version of "pennies" unnecessarily, but let's tackle one topic at a time.) #Thanksgiving

I'm so excited to read this (obviously used) book. I adore the Adrian Mole series and thought I'd read all the books in it, but I haven't.

Shorter is not always better, but unnecessary words waste your reader's time. My motto regarding word choice is: If it doesn't help, it hurts.

In his Modern English Usage, Bryan Garner says that saying "jive with" instead of "jibe with" is at Stage 2 out of 5 on his Language-Change Index. I've shared a screenshot of his amusing shorthand for this index.
