Fooey on the Admirals’ Lounge and the grammatical felon (Toronto)
Argh! I was just denied entry to American Airlines’ Admirals Lounge, even though when I checked in for my business class flight I was told I would be allowed access. It was so embrassing that the bee-yatch would not even extend the good ill of letting me use the bathroom. Harumph.
With my social life on track, I reflect on my professional state. Taking on the new international manager position is fun, but the handover with my predecessor is driving me bonkers. If bad grammar were a felony she would be locked away for life. Her use of the comma is criminal! For example, instead of writing
Apples and oranges are two objects that should not be compared or sliced.
She would write
Apples, and oranges, are two objects, that should not be compared, or sliced.
Proofing her documents, is driving, me crazy! But now I am on holiday, leaving all commas, semi colons and split infinitives behind.
