Public Service Announcement No. 2
Dear fellow bride,
I've been watching you on a few wedding-related fora, and thought it my duty to guide you in expressing yourself in a way which does not make you, and by extrapolation all of our kind, look completely clueless.
- First - your dress is not supposed to compliment your jewellery. Vera Wang does some fairly impressive stuff, but I doubt her gowns are anthropomorphic!
- Also, you can't actually use you're, your and youre (!) interchangibly; likewise with there, their and they're. It may seem harmless, but it actually makes people want to snap your head off with garden shears.
- Bomboneeries, bonbons, bonbonniere, bomboniere, bombannerie - I know, "who cares"! At the very least stick to one spelling throughout, instead of changing your mind at every opportunity.
- Punctuation does actually apply to you, too. I know, it's shocking, but you had to hear it. I'd also advise you err in favour of "not" when debating whether or not to type your message only in capitals.
Most humbly yours,
S.
