Oh wait- that just reminded me I have no home, mango's on a park bench covered in newspaper while avoiding strewn needles anyone?
Oh I'm a litttle cranky and its Dinah's fault for bragging about her lovely nap, I Wanted a nap and I didn't get one.
I really do think mangoes are the sexiest fruit, though if sliced in just the right way I flinch when I take a bite. I refuse to go into graphics, Mango lovers I'm sure you know whereof I speak.
And Dinah I'm glad you had a lovely nap. Though I do hope you woke up with crinkly nap face. (don't need to say I'm kidding do I?

Night monsters and mangos in the bath.... I really must buy some mangos tomorrow.

There's no apostrophe in a plural.
Gosh, people. I leave social, and bad spelling runs amok (or amuck).

I thought I was the only person this kind of thing bothers.My gf and I were recently driving through a heavily wooded, lightly populated part of Wisconsin. Bec. she's asian and butch-looking, we didn't stop to pee or anything until we found a pretty populated gas station -- but even then capuccino was spelled "cappacinno" in the window. We were very afraid. LOL.

(Dinah raises her hand timidly.)
Surely you also want to comment on the delectable and evocative imagery in ctrlaltndel's post.
Maybe a point or two would be taken off for the apostrophe, but I'm sure the bonus points for getting a whole room of people to want to rush out and eat a healthy fruit would more than compensate to keep her overall grade quite high. :)

I walk around with a black marker and change signs, crossing out the e from potatoe salad, adding the e to potatos, adding and subtracting apostrophes. It's my major pet peeve (though many would say I seem to be peeved a lot).

And... Miss Beardedlady,
Can you be sure the unconventional use of the apostrophe wasn't actually a sly postmodernist comment on the oppressive legacy of grammatical dos and donts drilled into us at tender ages, when our imaginations might have been better used contemplating the multifaceted wonders of fruits?

Golly! I just peeled them and cut off chunks with a knife then sucked on the seed. I guess I need a whole new approach.
BTW: Filipino mangos are more sensual than either Haden or Alphonso mangos. :-)

Sadly, I do.
The last time I looked at something so firm, yet soft, and round, yet shapely, and thought about unpeeling it to taste its sweet nectar....
... my wife smacked me.

My Dearest "Beardy"
(I do hope you will pardon my presumptious
familiarity in your title)
My studies in both semiotics and linguistics have proven to me that language, including grammatical correctness is, almost organic in nature by the way it evolves. In some cases it is as mutable or if you will, whimsical as the designated "propriety" or "impropriety' in clothing fashion.For instance the words shit and fuck which are largely considered at the very least rude. And yet they were originally considered quite proper Anglo-Saxon language. The Romans decided that anything associated with Anglo-Saxons was so disgusting that even the language became itself reprobative.
Similarly the word spinster which is an equivelent to the somewhat denigrating "old maid" originally was to refer to a woman who did not need to marry, as she had her own living, which she earned by spinning.
So, to you I say.
What theee hell r u gitten yer knickers in a twist for,with all this grammer schoolin stuff, if ah jes wate long enuff my apostrofee will be kinsidered fine n proper. Smatter o fact it could be okee bah sundown. So youu jes mahnd her own beezwax wudja.
Affectionately,
Yers in jestin
