Vanity: It's "Martial Law", NOT "Marshall Law"
May 22, 2010 | Happygrl

This is a Public Courtesy Announcement.

Yes, Martial Law might well involve Marshalls, but the root of it is from Mars, the God of War, in other words "Martial Law".

If it’s enacted by Zero, I would consider it Marsupial Law...

Thank you (it drives me crazy too). Believe it stems from confusion over the Marshall plan enacted after WWII to rebuild Europe.

When someone would ask me about my typing speed, I always said I type 75 mistakes a minute. I told one of my bosses that I could type fast or accurately — but not both.

These days I type slowly and my accuracy — well....

And it seem’s as though one of these errors has lead to another!

As long as we're dumping pet peeves,

There is no such word as "Irregardless", it's "Regardless" or "Irrespective".

Realtor is not pronounce "reel-i-tor"

Things may catch fire, they do not catch on fire; They may be set on fire but they do not catch on fire.

There are others but I've said enough for now.

It's He was shown disrepect, NOT "He was disrespected."

Thank you.
