        #55 = Number fifty-five.

        55# = Fifty-five pounds.

        It’s that simple 🙄

                I agree, when the rest of the world uses kilograms!

                  George my friend — were you once a gradeschool teacher? :D:P:wink: Brother, if we want to go there, that’s just the beginning of the end. But then, neither am I much of one to pet my peeves in privacy. Those darned peeves seem to crave public attention. 😈

                  One from my own peeve kennel: “I thought to myself … ” We see this even in the NYT, supposed home of the most elitest of the elitest writers. Yet, as my wife puts it, “Unless we’re clairavouyant, who else can we think to but ourselves?” Just so.

                  OK, “the prize” goes to whoever first finds their own pet peeve being mal-petted in my above. What’s the prize? I’ll have to think about that, to myself of course. LOL dp (Hinjt: there are at least three.)

                      I think I had a teacher in elementary by the name of
                      Claira Vouyant. I think she taught French.

                          Dave, here are your intentional errors. Funny thing about TBM’s “Reply” windows…they are equipped with spell-check. I just thought I would mention that for anybody that never cared to notice the little, red squiggly lines under misspelled or unknown words.

                          gradeschool
                          elitest (x2)
                          clairavouyant
                          Hinjt

                          Michael.

                            Aha! While Patrick got “misspellings” in general, Michael got Peterson’s planted mistakes precisely, at least in spelling. But I Win “the prize” because I’m the only or at least first one to note the glaring grammatical “errors” in “… supposed home of the most elitest of the elitest writers.” Should be “home of the most elite of elite writers.”

                            Now—what’s “the prize”? A free guided elk hunt? The Shrew recurve Dave has for sale in the classifieds here? A rubber biscuit?” (And which brothers here gets that little joke?) TTF

                              Ahh, yes…I forgot about the grammatical part. BUT, Dave did say there were “at least three”.

                              Michael.

                                Claira Vouyant, and Miss Spelling taught English.

                                  😆 Actually, my answer was precise, since Dave asked for the pet peeve to be pointed out, not the examples of the pet peeve.

                                    Well good on all of you clever fellows. But your admirable spelling and grammar detective efforts notwithstanding, I get to keep “the prize,” as the pet peeve I was referring to, and illustrating through inadvertent examples aplenty, is folks like me who post sloppy messages during happy hour. :D:):)8) Of course none of you would do that, I’m sure. :lol::lol: dp

                                      I was just about to say that, do I still get a prize:?:

                                        For me when I want to say something I just need to get it out first, whether in words or on paper. Later if I have time I will do the spell checking or grammar. I have probably made errors already in this post.:D Please forgive I do not mean to offend. Sometimes I am grammatically challenged.

                                            George–Speaking from the editor’s desk, you are correct. And if you catch this one in a future issue of TBM, you may contact Dave Petersen for your prize. Don
