The Egg and I
Sorry, bad pun. Merely a comment on the "misspelling" or mis-use of words that I see daily on the various lists.
Isle (not as in "fair") used to mean aisle (as in "the yarn aisle at Wal-Mart")
The ever-popular mis-use of their/they're/there (repeatedly, and often in the same post! )
The equally popular mis-use of its/it's.
And let's not forget your/you're.
Feel free to add as many as bother you to the comments section.
And now, for the reason for the pun:
I'm ready to start the "yolk" of my 1st (of 3) lopi sweaters! This bulky yarn on big needles stuff goes fast.
Oh, and lookie what came in today's mail:
My winnings!! $20.50 all together. I've already deposited it!
