Pet Peeve
Okay, here's a pet peeve of mine: when scrap magazines/websites/etc. refer to "product." As in, "We have lots of new product to share with you." Ugh, I hate that! It seems so affected and pretentious. No, you don't have "product" to share, you have productS. Plural. What can I say... I know it's a small thing... but it gets right under my skin. Every time I read it.

I am guilty of this. Note duly taken, Tanya. I will strive for proper grammar from this point on. LOL
Ack! I wasn't pointing fingers, Anita... I promise!
Me too, Tanya. It sounds almost clinical to me. I don't like it!
I know you weren't, Tanya!! Just having a bit of fun. I have noticed that I've been using "product" quite a lot lately, though. Dawn's right - it does sound rather clinical.
