You know you've taken your pedantry a bit too far when..

.. your husband sends you a sweet text detailing the lovely dinner he's going to cook for Valentine's day.

And the first thing you do is text back correcting his spelling of 'scallop'

In my Dh's case it's the pronunciation. He calls them scollops. It drives me mad.

I found myself taking a photo of a van last week, on the retail park, because it had a lot of extra apostrophes.

I have to sit on my hands at some of the texts I get. Facebook gives me The Rage. Luckily DP is amused by my little foibles...

I had a note from him on top of a box of Milk Tray this morning "happy Valentines Day" I am only forgiving him the missing apostrophe because it was a lovely thoughtful gift.

I though scallop was pronounced 'scollop'?

I pronounce it scollop too! Thought that was right & proper!

But my dh had spelled it scollop. The twit.
