This agent should be sealed in a mausoleum until he can pass a spelling test AND a history test!

Thanks to Sandra Matthewson for her great contribution. Remember, “Those who are sage proofread a page.” It’s Party Time! “Need proof of funs” (How ‘bout a party hat and a martini shaker?) “House numbers on grass” (I suspect the [...]

It seems people spend more time scanning the tube than studying. As a result, our psyches are imbued with TV trivia, while our spelling skills are atrocious.   I get contributions from all over, folks, so this is not just an L.A. “thang.” Check out this week’s [...]

Are you guilty of burying your own listings? These agents are: In Memoriam of Good Spelling “There’s a death of good homes” (…and an apparent re-birth of brain-dead agents.) “Seller willing to navigate” (Is this a house or a boat?) “Pool ideal for the kitties” (Wouldn’t a shelter would be more humane?) “Newly [...]

Please enjoy: KINK AND CLINK “Click kink to see video” (Cool – property porn!) “Custom wood binds” (Were these a [...]
