Kim, it's easy to be removed from a situation at work. You know I'm a nurse. But one becomes less subjective when it's a member of their own family or themselves. Funny how that works, eh?


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
