another copy editing pet peeve.
well, two actually:
i hate "tis the season for..."
and i hate "_______, _______, and _______, oh my!" (like, "lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!")
LAME.
except. my boss just told me that for her wedding welcome dinner, the invite was: "lyons, and tigers, and burdicks, oh my!" (her last name is lyons, his last name is burdicks... and it was at the zoo!) i don't hate it in that instance. because lyons! how could you not do it?
