According to the grammatical gurus, there is a distinct difference between “alright” and “all right”, the latter meaning “all correct” (all good) and the former meaning “so-so”, or “okay” (pretty good).

Fred Bronson
Many people may know Fred Bronson from his work with Dick Clark, or appearances on American Idol, but what they may not know is that Fred Bronson is perhaps singularly more significant than both entities combined, and his contribution and work – by way of his Billboard books – far more invaluable.

Yelp = Fail
It was around 2009 when the review website ‘Yelp’ was first brought to my attention. I thought it looked interesting, so I signed up for an account and began to make reviews here and there. My first posts were mostly negative reviews of places where I’d had bad experiences. But, as I read more reviews... Read More
