Monday Muddle: you’re, your, yore

you’re: (subject pronoun + verb) contraction of you are

your: (possessive pronoun) shows that you own something;
it belongs to you

yore: (noun) a time long ago

The term yore is not commonly used anymore except in Christmas carols and some literary contexts. It is preceded by the preposition “of” and is used in expressions like days of yore or knights of yore.

Thursday Thought #BarbaraBush

Never lose sight of the fact that the most
important yardstick of your success
will be how you treat other people–
your family, friends, and coworkers,
and even strangers you meet along the way.

~Barbara Bush

Monday Muddle: I’ll, ill

Some people like to put apostrophes into words where they aren’t necessary, but others don’t want to be bothered with the extra keystroke. If you leave the apostrophe out of ill, it will look sickly. 🤪

I’ll: (subject pronoun + verb) contraction of I will

ill: (adjective) unwell, sick;
(adverb) badly, hardly;
(noun) harm, misfortune

Thursday Thought #RobertGIngersoll

Nothing discloses real character like the use
of power…. Most people can bear adversity.
But if you wish to know what a man really is,
give him power. This is the supreme test.

~Robert G. Ingersoll
