I thought a "Medium" was someone that who could communicate with the dearly departed.

Given this is the "Grammar Discussions" thread, I felt strangely compelled to correct the error.

My teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in the future there will be autocorrect. And for that I am eternally grapefruit.

Miss H and I both had an optical appointment this week.

The staff member who greeted us was not wearing glasses.

I replied, “I’m not sure about you because we’ve just met. But I don’t wear glasses.”

Her puzzled look was very amusing.
