You know you're a geezer when.......................

If y'all are gonna discuss punctuation - STOP THE BRUTAL APOSTROPHE ABUSE!
That little mark was born to indicate possession (It was Bob's car) or contraction (omission of letters - as in shortening you are to you're)

And when your phone puts an apostrophe on "Sierra's" (and I ask Sierra's what? and they say - well, my phone said -) please understand it is trying to make sense out of your misspelling and while the phone is clearly better versed in the language than you are it is still wrong.

I am not only a geezer - I am a former elementary school teacher.

I got a talking-to last night for using Oxford commas. Apparently those are verbotten in our house. Likely in the garage, the camper, and while on the road as well. (I'm at work, it's safe!)

Maternal grandmother was an English major. Only the foolhardy played against her in Scrabble. Ever seen "qua" used in Scrabble? On a triple word score? That was normal play for her. I'm pretty sure that I was a constant trial to her.....

... realizing why my father always complained about "growing old ain't for sissies."

... why a friend of mine always told me that he never felt good.
