Now that it's been brought up I need to ask a question. At another forum I mentioned two novels by Wilkie Collins I found on my wife's bookcase and referred to them as "the Collins's". Later I thought maybe I should have said the Collinses, or just the Collins. Truth to tell, I'm not sure which is correct:o. Any chance you (or anyone) might?

I'm discussing your website. It's so poorly written I thought perhaps a 12 year old had produced it. Then I thought maybe it was the product of an online translator. Now I can see it's just pure ignorance of the language. It's lovely you've self-published a few books, but as that website stands, nobody will ever visit it more than once.

The more you proclaim your greatness in fractured, misspelled English, the more foolish you appear. Keep it up! You're gaining lots of customers here.

No. Being a secretary, poor grammar and spelling drive me right up the wall. I have zero tolerance for it.
