I have a confession to make.\u00a0 I suck at writing.\u00a0 The thing is, I shouldn’t really be confessing to this since I’m a professional writer now (aka, stay at home mom with a blog).\u00a0 But, it’s true! My grammar is terrible, my spelling sucks (spell check and I are best friends in case you don’t know), I don’t know the rules of writing, and I definitely don’t know my idioms (yet, I somehow managed to get a decent score on my GMAT’s and do my MBA… so there’s hope for all of us.\u00a0 I digress…).\u00a0 That’s why I’ve enlisted the help of my husband to be my editor.\u00a0 He does a great job, and sometimes, he takes his role very seriously offering input from a guy’s perspective (as if any guys are reading this).\u00a0\u00a0Above all else, he corrects my grammar and my phrases.\u00a0 I am ESL (English Second Language) after all.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But the last couple of years, I’ve started to notice that my husband’s grammar skills have been declining.\u00a0 Specifically, he uses personal pronouns\u00a0incorrectly.\u00a0 Here’s some examples:<\/p>\n

“Did WE change the sheets on Kyle’s bed yet?”<\/p>\n

“Did WE pack the toothbrush?”<\/p>\n

If it’s not clear to you, the appropriate term that should be used is “You” as in, ME (his wife).<\/p>\n

While the answer to most of these is sometimes\u00a0NO, sometimes it’s a YES because I did do whatever he’s asking.\u00a0 However, I wonder if, when\u00a0I say YES, does he believe that he did it too?<\/p>\n

Either way, it’s endearing, and I love it.\u00a0 I wouldn’t change it, and I definitely couldn’t have asked for a better editor (and no, my husband didn’t put this last sentence in here as the editor… I promise).<\/p>\n
