Grammar Girl

Oh, "Garage Sale," when did you become the catch-all phrase for any sale of cheap &*^%$ at the front of our house, whether it be of the lawn-, driveway-, or indeed garage-variety?

For those not familiar with the reference, Grammar Girl is Mignon Fogarty's awesome blog on the more idiosyncratic parts of the English language. I highly recommend it: It's a fun, interestin' read on language 'n learnin' 'n lingual luminations. <--This sentence would get me in trouble over there.
