Yeah...that "its/it's" mistake is tragic. And a few posts below there are two sentences that were originally meant to be one, so there's either a misplaced "while" or a misplaced "However." I can't even believe how fantastic this blog is, but it does seem like one whose entire blogging identity is tied up in pointing out a specific type of writing mistake could stand to be a little more careful. :)
Ouch. The minute I read that I expected lots of 'APOSTROPHE ABUSE! AHHH!' comments. I complain about bad grammar all the time and I often make mistakes. I also know that other people make them, too, and can accept that (to a degree). As I see it, as long as I, and they, know it's wrong and we all try to not make mistakes then we're just fine.
Now. Maybe they are dubious about the existence of this so-called "ricotta" cheese at all.
I didn't intend that to be taken so seriously...just seemed kind of ironic. And really, they're typos (which are even easier to make), not grammar issues. Stuff happens. I hadn't been by in a while and just came across the one from March with the quotation marks/rays of light on the church...this makes me happy.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

"Ricotta" is IT'S nickname??? I'm reporting you for apostrophe abuse ...
It's probably rikotta. You know, like krabmeat? badum ksh.
I'm with moxie. Maybe they can't legally call it ricotta. Scary.

Yeah, you try posting 4 times a day in between real work, and see how your grammar fares. Nobody's perfect.
