Friday Follies #41 – 3 mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”!
Welcome back, Friday Follies fans! (Oooh, triple alliteration!) The Grammar Cop’s haul today features three annoying errors… well, annoying to said Grammar Cop, anyway.
Friday Follies – back next week!
Hi all! The Grammar Cop is taking advantage of a super-sunny long weekend now. Here in Canada, Monday is a statutory holiday. It is Victoria Day, named after a very long-lived Queen of England. But here in the province of Quebec, francophones have dubbed it “Journée nationale des patriotes.” – National Patriots Day – to honor the rebellion against the British in 1837. It falls on the Monday before May 25, coinciding with Victoria Day, each year. (For history buffs, you can read about that rebellion here.)
Have a great weekend and see you next Friday!

Friday Follies #39 – often-confused English words
Friday Follies is changing it up once again! This is due to the very busy week the Grammar Cop just had – which means there was less time for reading and finding gaffes for you. So instead, she will share with you a partial list of words that are often mistaken for each other, borrowed from a book I just happen to have on hand. I don’t think I’ll get sued, as I’m giving full credit* to the person who compiled the list. Here goes:

Friday Follies #36 – repeated mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”!
Hi concerned readers! Today’s FFs will feature something a tad different. Instead of shaming various media for specific grammatical/spelling errors seen the previous week (as in all preceding 35 FF posts), the Grammar Cop is going to rant about another bunch of FFs.
Friday Follies #35 – 3 mistakes that make me go “Arghhh”!
