After five years of hard work she finally got the promotion she deserves.

Had I spotted her at the train station I would have picked her up and taken her home.........but that's just me.

So how’s that “high visibility vest” going to impact Felix’s hunting? Might mice notice the bright yellow vest? Hmmm...

Since this story originated in the UK....mice are colour-blind. :)

Reminds me of the Paddington stories.

“Everyday” means “ordinary,” and is thus distinct in meaning from “every day.”

Except for “alot”, I have not seen any of the run-together words that you listed. My English teacher in 10th grade explained that “alot” is really two words, and we should write it that way. I took the lesson to heart. Maybe that’s why she allowed me to do an independent project when all of the other students were studying grammar. (I wrote a term paper on Elizabeth Barrett Browning.)

That getup might Inhibit her abilities to effectively carry out her duties. You might say she has been belled to level the playing field.

My little rescue cat Kefira (a gorgeous tortie and white) killed her first mouse at 4 months old. She didn't just kill it, she ripped it apart all over the floor.

Kefira comes from tough stock. She and her 4 brothers had been found at the ripe ol' age of 1 week, near death, in someone's yard. Fortunately, a kind person gathered up the litter and brought them to a lady who is an expert at rearing orphan neonate kittens, and they managed to pull 3 of the 5 kitten through.

Although I haven't had a mouse since, any mouse who would enter my home would be on a suicide mission.

But that's counting, not grammar!

Yes, Sly Stone uses "everyday" correctly in the title to his song "Everyday People."

Everyday People

Except for "alot", I have not seen any of the run-together words that you listed. My English teacher in 10th grade explained that "alot" is really two words, and we should write it that way.

I've seen people write it as "allot" (a real word with an entirely different meaning) when they really should have written "a lot."
