I Like to Watch a Little TV While I Work
It's pretty exciting - we found this old Fisher-Price "Giant Screen Music Box TV" at the Arlington Civitan Flea Market this morning. We usually go to find antique books and militaria, but when I saw this, it was irresistible! I had one of these when I was a kid. The side says it was made in 1966, so mine was a lot younger than this one -- maybe 20 [...]
I Knew What Your Text Meant

Yoast SEO and Semantic Search with Google
When you're relying solely on one SEO tool, you might get the wrong idea about how "healthy" your pages are when it comes to SEO and Google.

Who vs. Whom – What Should You Use?
Who vs. Whom Here's a simple trick to help you remember when to use who and when to use whom. If the answer to your question could be "him," use whom. Remember that both end with the letter M. Otherwise, use who. Question: Who put the book in the library? Answer: He did. Question: To whom should I address this letter? Answer: Address it to him. Question: Who called me? [...]
Weird Spelling Rule
If it weren't for the occasional weird spelling rule, it just wouldn't be English. I comes before E, except after C. Unless you're running a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbor. Perfectly legit.
