To make more posts like these, I”ll just create (and keep) my own spelling and grammar flubs. That way, I could write a post listing all the posts I”ve done that have hilariously huge spelling and grammar mistakes… and then that post would have a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. It would be a never ending cycle. Success!
