One of my favorite people to follow on Twitter is @WorldofIsaac. So you should follow him. Now.
My latest reminder of his real-time Twitter greatness was the posting of the image below, taken while watching today’s weird White Sox-Tigers game.
I love this image for several reasons:
- The “dad” is wearing a Cardinals shirt/jersey while proclaiming the greatness of the Tigers.
- Our very own die-hard White Sox fan KVB has likely had a moment like this at U.S. Cellular Field with his dad, a Tigers fan.
- There is no apostrophe for “Dads,” which is supposed to be a contraction. This is the first thing I noticed. This is a clear sign I’ve been editing too much copy over the last several years.
- Little kids having fun at baseball games are awesome.
So, kudos to this dad/son combo for a great pair of signs (whether the dad is really a Tigers fan or not…)
As for the “weirdness” this White Sox-Tigers game, it was 6-0 White Sox before the Tigers scored 8 and then 2 runs in successive innings. What the hell White Sox?
Time to go back and see if they can come back…
About Jerod Morris
Possessive apostrophe? Nothing belongs to his dad. It would be a contraction of “dad” and “is”.
It seems you haven’t been editing (correctly) long enough.
I hang my head in shame. You are correct. My brain is just mush I guess.
As long as we’re at it:
I’ve been editing too much copy over the last several years.
Try this: “I’ve been editing too much copy during the past several year.”
Er, “years” … you know, the whole “glass houses” thing …
