Here's an amusing conversation I just had with my mom, who is one of the biggest grammar Nazis I know. We were discussing how to create an emoticon of a coffee cup. c[_]
Mom: I saw it in a magazine. You type a lower-case "c," then a bracket, then an underscore, then another bracket, and they put a little (and she drew an apostrophe in the air with her finger) at the end to look like a curl of smoke.
Me: ...You mean, an apostrophe?
Mom: Yeah, the one you use for contractions, not the bottom one.
Me: ...A comma?
Mom: Yeah. That one.
She claims it's because she's tired. I say she's just losing her mind. XD Anyway, thought people might find it amusing.
