Thank you Ellen. I figured I'd do as instructed on Grammar Day, and "march forth!" The founder is so enthusiastic, how could I not? I'm glad this post proves helpful and relatable. That's the objective, so good to know!

Fun post. And useful especially when it comes to British vs American spellings....toward vs towards comes to mind. But now I'm confused!
