こんばんは！ (Good evening!) I wasn’t feeling too great today, so I had decided to take the day off from posting and just read an e-book instead. Of course, the result of that decision was that the e-book I started reading through our library’s Hoopla service (a wonderful resource, by the Read more…
Welcome back to another edition of Typo Tuesday! I have a long Word document full of typo screenshots I’ve taken recently, but today’s post comes indirectly from a comment I received on yesterday’s post.

It’s already quite a lengthy list, and I only take a screenshot if I find a typo in a serious, mainstream, non-message board website.
