I was driving early this morning past a church whose illuminated message board, among other things, said this:
This is Gods’ church
Yes, exactly that, punctuation and all.
Me? I’ve been satisfied with monotheism, myself.

Yikes.When I was in 2nd grade, my mom taught college English classes and sometimes brought me along with her. While I still do make grammatical mistakes (not just typos!), I do tend to reflexively cringe when I see and hear grammar errors. Blame it on my mom. *eg*

Spoken like an antiquated English teacher. Didn’t you know things like punctuation are no longer important? Didn’t you hear earlier this year about the “death of the semicolon”? You don’t want to imprison people and stop them from free expression, do you? And rules aren’t popular.(Cringing right along with you…)

In defense of the sign guy, my writing is full of typos and stupid mistakes, some of which finds its way inadvertently into my preaching. Just yesterday someone pointed out an egregious spelling error in a sermon title on the church’s web site, which had been there for two months! I don’t point these things out as one who cringes, but as one who laughs at our human fallibility. And when that means I can laugh at another church and feel haughty and superior, all the better! And the semi-colon? Isn’t that what you get after certain cancer surgeries?

Agree on momotheism. But lets dont 🙂 get started on misplaced and missed apostrophes and other errors. "Grammar/punctuation freaks" will go even more nuts!And I'm not an English teacher or major; just an oldie who went to school when grammar rules were taught and expected to be used. The spouse (even older) also; and English isn't his native language.Note: we have a new computer and are trying to figure out where that "&" came from in the name; will attempt to correct.

OOPS! there you go: a typo – I promise – in monotheism. Talk about fallibility!–ae
