Wikipedia

Our wikipedia project in class is something that is always lingering in the back of my mind, and I think I have finally come up with a topic! Where I used to live put on an annual homecoming festival that is very culturally based, and I think it would be something I would like to write about because a lot of people go to it and it is a ton of fun! Anyone else know what topic to pick yet?

Language Pet Peeves

On the English website, we are asked to tell everyone if we have any pet peeves about language! I think that everyone texts so much that it is a huge form of communication, and one thing that really bothers me is when people mix up the words "there" and "their." Another funny language thing that I have noticed from one of my friends is that she substitutes the word "whenever" in place of "when" all the time, every time. It does not necessarily bother me but it is really noticeable, and she is from Pittsburgh so maybe it has something to do with slang!
