I have misplaced a comma in one of my posts and I look like a numpty. I am itching to go back and apologise, but I'd already done that for a couple of typos in the post before.

Hold my hand while the shame subsides? This can be a support group, right?

Oh the shame! Here have a spare ,
Blame iPad!

No, you have to go back and apologise and genuflect.

I mixed up a there and their once. Oh the shame.

But it was my iPad, I promise, I'm sure, I think it was anyway. OH GOD NOW NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE AND MY WORLD HAS STOPPED TURNING. Kill me, just kill me now <racking sobs>

I promise I can make you feel better.

I am an ENGLISH teacher and was once writing a list of spellings on the board for my class to copy down. I spelt one of the words wrongly.

It was 'embarrass'

This was years ago and I still blush when I remember it!

You are dead to me.

Is it 'racking sobs' or 'wracking sobs'?

I always thought one was wracked with grief, but I may be wrong.
