Never Fear, Proofreader Mom Here

Please don't feel concerned if you notice grammatical and/or semantic errors within my posts.

My mother, self-appointed proofreader that she is, immediately notifies me, often through use of gasping, when I've made a mistake. This message is delivered in the same arrangement and tone through which she remarked about my appearance when I was growing up (i.e. "Did you know that you have a pimple on your chin?" has become "Have you read your recent blog entry? After it was published?").

Apparently, this is all done for my own good.

Let me just say this now: For the past, present, and future, I apologize for any misuse of the English language. Do not view it as a reflection of my IQ or upbringing. Furthermore, don't worry about said errors--they've already been pointed out by the management and are in the process of being escorted off of the premises.

Or better yet, maybe I'll take this approach: Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Hey Cate~
Sounds like you have a lot of unresolved issues with your poor old Mom....who only seems to have your best interest at heart!!! If she seems overbearing it's only because she doesn't want you to feel like a fool.
Enough said....she's probably very sorry.
Another well meaning Mom......
