I’ll take Grammar Geek. I’ll take Grammar Mistress. Heck, I’ll even accept Grammar Dominatrix if you’re feeling saucy. I’ll be the Sheriff of Grammartown, flashing my badge as a card-carrying member of the Grammar Police. But please, can we possibly stop comparing people who prefer that you choose the correct form of “there”, “their”, or “they’re” with genocidal maniacs who tried to wipe an entire race of people, along with several other groups, off the face of the Earth? Conflating the desire…

How incredibly ironic that a color that is seen in such an evenhanded way is the color of something that can cause the opposite of an agreeable situation, the almighty dollar. Money does anything but create neutral and calming encounters, it…
