If s/he hasn't mastered the lie/lay usage, do I really want them slicing me up? Not particularly, I don't.<br /><br />Fussing over little things keeps you from having to think about the scary things, such as: Will the person I love die during this surgery?<br /><br />Much better to fuss over a refrigerator that is, after all, successfully sitting in one's kitchen at this very moment.<br /><br />IvyKllrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-69621374892166741922011-11-02T20:25:59.000-07:002011-11-02T20:25:59.000-07:00I agree with Doris on the annoyance of "gradu...I agree with Doris on the annoyance of "graduated college" instead of "graduated from college."

In my world, surgery is a big deal. Grammar?
