birthday girl

Some girls want diamonds
Some girls want pearls.
Some girls want straight hair
Some girls want curls.
Jodi, on the other hand, just wanted some snow to shovel on her birthday. She got it!

Leddy Collection Policy White Paper
10 Dec 07
The Leddy Library has plans to revise its collection policy. The current policy was written in the early 1990s, and has only had minor revisions since.
Those who might be interested can follow some of our discussion on collection policy development through the Leddy Collection Policy White Paper, prepared using CommentPress, a WordPress template that allows commenting at the level of the paragraph.

Apostrophe’s
7 Dec 07
I’m pretty good at apostrophes, actually, and other Englishy stuff. But I can never remember whether the third-person pronoun “one” is made possessive with or without the apostrophe. His, hers, its, all take none, and of course “one’s” is correct and doesn’t follow this pattern.
So, lazily, whenever I have a memory lapse around a grammar or spelling (or in this case, punctuation) thing, I’ve taken to dropping the word in question into a Google search. Google’s number one hit for “one’s”? A wikipedia entry on Eating one’s own dog food.
