“ They bounced around my head like, well, a ping pong. They say that curiosity killed the cat, but curiosity has also done a lot of wonderful things for cats, like help them discover their love of milk or string. What if ping pong pussy was my ball of string?

On a similar note, still researching my spring trip with my mom to South Africa, and a friend sent me a link to this Airstream trailer hotel. Love.

meredithnyc: GO CAROL HANNAH! I have been pulling for her this whole season, obvi, since she’s from Charleston. But I just recently found out, thanks to my alumni magazine, that she’s a College of Charleston alumna, too! And she graduated one year after me. Plus, she is the best designer, by a long shot. She deserves to win. Althea and Irina can suck it. [Yes, Gordana is also from Charleston. I like her, but I am familiar with her shop in Charleston, and I used to always go in there hoping to find something cheap and cute. I never found anything cute :/  ] (image via) Yes! I love her! I actually like everyone left, but I love CH the best!

WHEN DOES THIS OPEN?

We’ll have to visit together, Kate, given our shared obsession with cheese, and the fact that for a year and a half, I lived an avenue away from a similar eatery in NYC and never made it there!

How many spaces should be left after a period or other concluding mark of punctuation?

My world was turned upside-down when an associate in publishing told me that the trend is no longer two spaces after a period and soon it will become a rule.  Schools are now teaching only one period as well. I want to go lay down in a dark room with a cold washcloth over my eyes.

Ever since J-School, I’ve cringed whenever I see two spaces after a period. That rule was thrown out the window the second I left high school.

same here, k! I can spot 2 spaces after a period from a mile away. ew.

The rule started in journalism because it saves column space. At least, that’s what I was told.

Two spaces is still acceptable in academic writing, though.

Mere would know; that is her job after all!

(For Julie and Cady: Your world is not completely crashing down around you, it turns out.)

99.9% of Scott's and my fights are about grammar.

Is that sad?

He speaks incorrectly, I set the record straight, he gets pissed, arguing ensues.

I’m sorry, but I simply cannot put up with “good” when it should be “well,” improper use of superlatives, ending sentences (even when spoken) with prepositions, and my number one pet peeve, “with who” instead of “whom.”

(Those are just a few.)

And he has a journalism degree! Honestly, he should know better.
