For those of you who are trying to express sympathy or communicate how moved you are by the cuteness of something, it's "aww" and not "awe." Unless that new puppy / kitten / baby inspires respect mixed in with a healthy dosage of fear, it's "aww." And it's most certainly not "awl*," unless you want me to use one on your face. K, thanks!
*Awl - A small pointed object used for piercing holes, esp. in leather
aww...i didn't know that :D

He's right
ReplyDeleteI knew this post was coming. Honestly, I do know the proper usage of its and it's; their, there and they're; your and you're. I don't know why my fingers fail to properly carryout their instructions.
ReplyDeleteI wish I "could of" avoided making those terrible typos in my comments and messages. :)
Very cool that you know an awl when you see (and read about) one!
LOL awesome. I also want to use said awl when someone writes "loose" when they mean "lose."
ReplyDeleteWhich makes me want to correct Mr. Gaffigan's tweet to say, "Whenever you make a habit of messing up basic grammar, your better-informed readers are silently despising you." That may not be under 140 characters.
My phone likes to autocorrect my "aww" to "awe". Feel free to use that awl on my phone for driving everyone nuts!!! lol
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. You are AWEsome!
ReplyDeleteaww...I didn't know what an awl was until now. I'm in awe of your knowledge. Hope I used all the words in the proper manner ;) Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The tweet makes me laugh, as well. Alas, it cannot be helped.
ReplyDeleteAha, I didn't know people wrote it "awe" or "awl", the second one in particular doesn't make sense to me at all!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check out the Provence books! They sound awesome!

ReplyDeleteHaha...love this post. I've recently seen a number of bloggers confuse new/knew. Drives me nuts.

ReplyDeleteI once battle up with my coworkers on the word 'cutesy' and 'yay'. They insisted that those two do not exist. Do they?
ain't never been much fur book learning.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anyone use "awl" before. It's the darn phone autocorrect. You gotta use a lot of wwwww before it recognizes it as "awww" and not "awe." hehe.
