Attention Writers:

Gentile describes someone not of the Jewish faith.

Gentle describes someone who is kind.

One could be a gentle gentile, but that would sound awkward and also, stupid.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE PROOFREAD!!!!

I found this error in the FIRST SENTENCE of the story.

Tiredly yours,

Lex

I feel your pane -- er, that would be a sheet of window glass, huh? --pain. (And yes, that's just a bad joke.) I get crazed when I read things like that. *sigh* My current pet peeve is the rampant misuse of "begging the question." grrrrrr

Heh, I read about someone having 'baited breath' yesterday and thought of you. :->

*cackle*

Yeah, I run across that "baited breath" line often. It gives me the whibbies.

I'm glad my reputation for grammar-snarkery continues unabated. (Bad pun intended.)
