I wanted to wait until I was ready to post a REAL entry to post this, but...it's driving me insane!!

Re: My previous "Wal-Mart" entry--I committed at least two horrendous grammatical errors that somehow slipped through the cracks despite my best proofreading efforts, and it's too late now to correct them. *cries*

They are, in order...

A female employee wearing a jacket and looking ready to go out someplace spots as and pauses. "Do you need help?" she asks in a mildly irritated-sounding voice.

That should be "spots US and pauses."

And

Dad was seriously pissed. "Paul Harvey," he said, naming the guy on the morning radio show he listens to. "He's always on there extolling the virtues of Wal-Mart--'The customer service is so good, the employees are so helpful'--BULL PUCKEY! I'm going to write him a letter."

"I made EYE CONTACT with two of them!" I exclaim; this is not something a shy person like myself normally does. "They looked RIGHT AT ME! I was getting mad enough to go find somebody myself, if I'd only known what department to go to. I should go online and submit a complaint!"

That second paragraph should be in PAST TENSE, as I had reverted to past-tense narration in the preceding paragraph. This is precisely why I do not tell my dreams or stories in present tense! Far too easy to switch around, even if you are careful like me!

-_-;

So that was the latest grammar update for Skew, and the shortest entry this thing has had in a while...too bad it was also one of the boringest entries too. (I KNOW THAT'S NOT A WORD! STOP LOOKING AT ME!)
