[Nfbmo] Usage Lesson: Pray or Prey

[Daniel Garcia]

To prepare us for the grammar conference calls, President Wunder suggested a few months ago  that we read a book titled "Grammar Girl's Quick And Dirty Tips for Better Writing", DB 67697. The first chapter deals with the correct usage of certain "dirty words." These are words that people get confused. Although the list is comprehensive, it is not all-inclusive. After reading this chapter, I went online and looked up some words that often confuse me. I will be posting a quick lesson on each of these words every week.

Pray or Prey?

I pray you are not preyed upon by hyena.

My apologies for not posting last week. It truly slipped my mind. By the time I remembered, it was already Wednesday. I guess it's true what they say, memory is the first thing to go.
