A news article on NJ.com contained the following sentence:

"The 44-year-old was hospitalized, according to reports, but she is in stable condition with a broken vertebrae and missing teeth."

In the blog following the article, I attempted to provide the writer with a bit of tactful education on the difference between one spinal bone (vertebra), and more than one spinal bone (vertebrae). I asked that he correct his mistake.

More than 24 hours later, the mistake is still there, and one person in the blog responded to me by saying that the use of the plural form of "vertebra" is perfectly acceptable in that context.

So...I agree that "I can't take it anymore"!

They probably shopped here:

'...it looked much better before the addition of Neamen Marcus... I wish Neamens could have moved into Macy's stop. ...Macy's has become so sloppy....Cloths thrown around.'

The same cloth diapers as in your 'find,' perhaps.

Irregardless of the age, disrespectful, and bratty children, we are ALL being negatively effected by today.

the sun is shinning here in rural Missouri!

Wonder why shirts like this are maid?


There faces always look as if their chewing a wasp.
And why do they have to dress like their just off a building site

I had a brother-in-law who spoke this way. According to him, he done did just about everything.
A comment on an online newspaper story about the now-captured young couple:

"Shes gonna say she was cohersed and get a lap on the wrist. Damn shame! Laws about "children" needs to change".

I think the laps and wrists in this sad case may have been otherwise entangled...
