Ever heard of stosrage?
I hadn’t either until I came across this real estate flyer. If you look closely, stosrage is clearly listed as one of the home’s “Fabulous Features.” Hmm….stosrage doesn’t sound too fabulous to me. In fact, it sounds a little violent and a lot scary.

I must preface this post with an apology of sorts. I know I am a Boise native. I know I should love and adore Boise State University. After all, I was born in a hospital less than 5 minutes away from campus. This seems to be more reason than many BSU lovers have for their [...]

Perhaps you recall my magazine addiction. I LOVE them. I love how they feel, I love how they smell — yes, I said smell — I love everything about them. And when I see a nice, locally produced magazine it’s like I’m a moth drawn to a flame.

This is another case of an unnecessary apostrophe.
My thanks go out to AnchorMommy reader Sandy Larsen for this one. Sandy found the error while reading the online user’s manual for her new Samsung Impression cell phone. (I have to hand it to you, Sandy — you actually read the manual. Online, no less.)
