I see some person or persons from my old job are still searching the internet for my blog.

Get over it and move on already. I have. You really should, too.

Yes, I know the spelling is incorrect.

But, why is that the case? Why is “grateful” the proper spelling?

Over the years this has been a source of confusion for me.

Greatful. Grateful. Which looks more positive to you?

grate: verb 1: to rub or rasp noisily 2: to cause irritation
great: adjective 1: large in number or measure 2: remarkable in magnitude, degree, or effectiveness 3: full of emotion

Simply based on the definitions of each base word, wouldn’t it make more sense to use “great” instead?

I welcome the opinions and thoughts of any fellow lover of the English language.

Current Mood: Confused

The Rite Aid a few blocks from my office (think CVS, Walgreen’s, Eckerd’s or other common drugstore) doesn’t carry the Axe line of products!

What are they thinking?! Not only is Axe extremely popular, this line quickly became my favorite, most especially the Axe Touch body wash and spray. Just trust me when I say it smells *really* good. I’ve gotten a number of compliments as well as a few lingering breaths in the crook of my neck.

So this means I can’t get my smell good stuff unless I find the nearest CVS.

Ok, so it isn’t really the end of the world. The closest CVS’ are less than a mile away from each end of my office location. But isn’t part of being American wanting instant gratification and demanding convenience?
