Minor Irritants

Okay, I must stop niggling over movie goofs at IMDb. Way too much time-suck involved. I really don’t have time to explain over and over about stupid stuff like how Flicka in the book is a sorrel, not a freakin’ palomino, but there you are.

Then again, some little niggling things just must be addressed. Here are three:

1) Stop, for love of Pete, saying and writing “can’t help but.” Follow “can’t help” with a participle. I can’t help wanting to smack people who don’t.

2) Victoria has ONE secret. One. Her secret is not plural. See here.

3) The mistress of Tara’s name is spelled with two “t’s”: Scarlett O’Hara.

Others?
