Princess MoMo

Mr. Doctor: YOU’RE right. I do understand the THEIR is a method to YOUR madness. I don’t know any third graders, but I know I’m smarter THAN my 10 year old niece, though suddenly I’ve transformed from her awesome uncle to an “embarrassing” person – the pre-teen years suck. But, HERE I am.

Did I pass? I actually got a 790 on my verbal SAT and my mom would spell/grammar correct my papers and messages growing up. So, as a result I have good grammar, but when other people send me messages with misspelled words I have to hold back any snide comments. I’ve become a bitter grammar policeman. So, be careful with what you write if you choose to respond, because I’ll be actively looking out for any missteps…

So, you live in Flemington? I grew up in that area. I went to Hunterdon Central for high school, then spent some time studying in Washington DC and New York before I took a job in Philly, and recently moved to PA, close to wear I was born. It’s the circle of life I guess. Do you work in Flemington or someplace else? Which part of Flemington are you in? It’s changed a lot since I grew up there. Too many big-box stores now. Too many of the mom/pop shops have closed. But, it still feels like home to me.

That’s all for now. I don’t want to give you any dirt and find myself on your blog. I’d love to hear from you.

Mr. Doctor: Ummm…I re-read my message and used the wrong “their.” I meant “there.” FML. But, since I caught it before you responded (or if you will respond) it doesn’t count a strike against me!

Princess MoMo: Reread it again. There is another error.

Mr. Doctor: Seriously? I’m typing on my phone app now and can’t read my outgoing mail on this – need my computer. If there is another mistake, trust me, I’ll find it. My fault though, I should have realized the importance of proof reading any message where I focus on the merits of my grammar and spelling.

Mr. Doctor: At least you read the message to nearly the end. I figured I had lost you with the first mistake. The second (where) is truly embarrassing. I had hoped we were grammar soul mates. Unfortunately, it appears the one thing I am most proud of, my greatest feeling of self-worth and achievement, is merely an illusion and I humbly resign and shall walk away defeated.
