Cookies for Grammar!
A kind reader pointed out that I had a typo in the subtitle of my blog, causing an incorrect negative correlative conjunction. I have fixed it. I appreciate correct grammar, so I was very happy to know!
My name comes from the Irish Achadh-beithe, meaning "birch-tree field." It's not so hard to pronounce if you remember that the gh combination is silent, and that the diphthong ea is like the "a" in pan. So my name is pronounced something like "Ah-va" with the accent on the first syllable.

An incorrect negative correlative conjunction! Oooh, I hate when that happens.
Yeah, easier to bear than the dreaded dangling modifier, but nowhere near as terrifying as incorrectly employing a transitive verb as an ergative.
