But the last couple days I've had that familiar nagging feeling in the back of my head telling me it's time for me to write again. So here I am! And here you are! (hopefully)
This post is about another of my pet peeves. For some reason I love ranting to you guys, so I apologize if you get fed up with all the beefs I have with this world. Alright, here is my beef:
I hate it when people don't know how to spell things. But specifically, I hate it when people think congratulations is spelled with a d so it looks like congradulations instead. I really can't blame people themselves for making this mistake, I blame the greeting card companies! (yes, you, Hallmark!)

| No. Wrong. Weddings are not a call for Congradulation. |
I don't know when this started, but somebody thought they would be clever when their kid graduated so they gave them a card that said "congradulations!" instead of "congratulations!". And you know, when used in the context of a graduation, spelling it with a d is perfectly fine because it's cute. But I can't tell you how many people signed the guest book at my wedding and wished me congradulations on my marriage.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the people who wished me congradulations view marriage as a type of graduation. I still don't like it though. I'm probably going to get tons of congradulations when I get pregnant too and then again when we buy our first house. I suppose you can view all of these things as a type of graduation into a new phase of life, but it's still stupid. It's going to make my real graduation all the less exciting because being congradulated by someone won't be such a novelty thanks to all the unnecessary congradulations I've already received for the non-graduation occasions of my life.
