It's been a while since I've
I now have a Zombies section, with a bumper sticker and t-shirts suggested by Middle Child. Click on http://www.cafepress.com/janiejunebugstease/10224709 to find the new section.
The bumper sticker says DRIVE AS IF ZOMBIES ARE CHASING YOU
The t-shirts, which are available in a variety of sizes and colors, say
Happy Zombie Shopping! Remember: If you want to express yourself on a t-shirt, bumper sticker, mug, or whatever, you just need to let me know what you want your product to say, and I have ways of making it happen. If you've written a book, you can send me the cover image in the size you want it to be on a shirt, and I can design a t-shirt with your book on it. Email me at dumpedfirstwife@gmail.com.
I still have my Religious Tease, Military Tease, and Editor's Tips Tease.

Now let's pause for a moment of silence as we ponder the glory of grammar. Last week I reminded you that "a while" is a noun, and "awhile" is an adverb. A certain gentleman who writes a great blog called The Chubby Chatterbox has asked me to discuss farther and further. Use "farther" for physical distance, and use "further" for figurative distance. Further can also be a modifier, as in "Further, The Chubby Chatterbox tells great stories about his childhood friend, Ricky Delgado."
Let me know if you have grammatical questions or would like me to issue a reminder about a certain grammatical area that drives you crazy. I am The Queen of Grammar. I live to serve my subjects.
Infinities of love,

Zombie themed t-shirts are the best kind of t-shirts!! x
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you approve!
DeleteI'm seeing some sterling signs of sustainable success in your shirt & sticker sales!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Speaking of grammar, Your Majesty, my post today is on paraprosdokians, or as one commentor calls them, "paraunpronounceables". (fishducky.blogspot.com)
I read your post and enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you for using the appropriate title for me.
DeleteZombies are hot - good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Middle Child knows all things hot.
DeleteLOVE the zombie stuff! I'm waiting for the next season of The Walking Dead...although I hope it's better than the last one was... I love grammar. Would you please mention to the masses that the past tense of "to drag" is "dragged"? Probably my biggest pet peeve.... :D
ReplyDelete-andi
Oh, dear. As in I drug myself outa bed this morning? That's very nasty. I shall do my utmost to bring this topic to the attention of the world.
DeleteI like that - Drive As if Zombies are Chasing you. But aren't zombies slow? ;0)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. I've never met a zombie. But if they're slow, then perhaps the bumper sticker means that people should take it easy and not drive as if they are maniacs.
DeleteI do love your grammar lessons, O Queen! I only wish there were more of you, spreading the good news of grammar.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to join me in spreading the good news, Shelly. We can rule together.
DeleteI'm going to share this everywhere. So fun :)
ReplyDeleteDo you prefer dived or dove? (Past tense of dive)
ReplyDeleteIt used to be dove, but dived has become acceptable. I'm not sure which I would use because I haven't needed to talk about diving for quite sometime. I tend to be more of a traditional grammarian, but I try to keep up with changes and not get all in a tizzy over them. However, I cannot and will not accept transition or impact used as a verb.
ReplyDeleteI bow to you the Queen of Grammar!...And Maxwell is still around? I always smile at your introduction!
ReplyDeleteMaxwell stopped blogging quite sometime ago (though I still attempt to stalk him). He said it was okay for me to give up the intro, that he's not as feisty now. I tried leaving out . . . and Maxwell, and found it made me very uncomfortable. It's not my blog without Maxwell.
DeleteI'd eat mom as long as there wasn't a period.
ReplyDeleteYou're right -- you would. You're helpful that way.
DeleteEwwwwww, Coffey!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's one from me.
Is it: "I wish I were" or "I wish I was"
What are we gonna do? It's Coffey. We can't stop loving him. Thank you for the lovely grammatical question. I know the answer, and I shall include it in an upcoming post.
DeleteI hope you make a fortune selling these.
ReplyDeleteI would like a fortune very much.
DeleteFrom what I heard about World War Z you could really lose a ton of weight running away from those zombies! I guess they move really fast. New breed of zombies. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the grammatical reminders. Can't think of any questions offhand, but I'll keep you in mind. :):)
I think Middle Child saw World War Z and then came up with the slogans. You don't really have grammatical problems, but if you have pet peeves, lay 'em on me.
DeleteLotta Joy, it's I wish I be. or I wished I was.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your assistance, Grammar King Coffey.
