Yes, I Could Care LessThese are interesting times for word nerds. We ate, shot and left, bonding over a joke about a panda and some rants about greengrocers who abuse apostrophes. We can go on Facebook and vow to judge people when they use poor grammar. The fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Elements of Style inspired sentimental reveries. Grammar Girl's tally of Twitter followers is well into six digits. We can't get enough of a parody of the Associated Press

These are interesting times for word nerds. We ate, shot and left, bonding over a joke about a panda and some rants about greengrocers who abuse apostrophes. We can go on Facebook and vow to judge people when they use poor grammar. The fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Elements of Style inspired sentimental reveries. Grammar Girl's tally of Twitter followers is well into six digits. We can't get enough of a parody of the Associated Press Stylebook, of all things, or a collection of "unnecessary" quotation marks.
Could you care less? Does bad grammar or usage "literally" make your head explode? Test your need for this new book with these sentences:
"Katrina misplaced many residents of New Orleans from their homes."
"Sherry finally graduated college this year."
"An armed gunman held up a convenience store on Broadway yesterday afternoon."
Pat yourself on the back if you found issues in every one of these sentences, but remember: There is a world out there beyond the stylebooks, beyond Strunk and White, beyond Lynne Truss and Failblogs. In his long-awaited follow-up to Lapsing Into a Comma and The Elephants of Style, while steering readers and writers on the proper road to correct usage, Walsh cautions against slavish adherence to rules, emphasizing that the correct choice often depends on the situation. He might disagree with the AP Stylebook or Merriam-Webster, but he always backs up his preferences with logic and humor.
Walsh argues with both sides in the language wars, the sticklers and the apologists, and even with himself, over the disputed territory and ultimately over whether all this is warfare or just a big misunderstanding. Part usage manual, part confessional, and part manifesto, Yes, I Could Care Less bounces from sadomasochism to weather geekery, from "Top Chef" to Monty Python, from the chile of New Mexico to the daiquiris of Las Vegas, with Walsh's distinctive take on the way we write and talk. Yes, I Could Care Less is a lively and often personal look at one man's continuing journey through the obstacle course that some refer to, far too simply, as "grammar."

Hours of entertainment
Size: 5.75 inch (Pack of 1)
I lived this branch bone for my pups. They like to carry it around and chew on it for hours. Not only does it look cute when they walk around with the branch in their mouth but it keeps them entertained and no mess. Not heavy but I wouldn't suggest throwing it, it would still hurt a bit if it hits one of your shins 😅. Long lasting too

They actually last!!!!
Size: 9.5 inch (Pack of 1)
My pitties are CHEWERS!! Most toys don’t last more than a few minutes, if they’re decent then maybe a day or two but these sticks are still going strong!! I ended up getting more cause I was so happy they actually lasted and you can’t beat the price!! My older male is a lot more into toys than my female but now we got a 4 month old bully pup who’s teething and tries to chew on everything!! They are slightly big for him as of right now but he can still easily chew on them and is growing fast -it’s more him trying to run with it in his mouth that is a little hard but they do have smaller options - I love that they can just chew on these for hours and hardly make a dent! If you have aggressive chewers these are a great buy!!

Sturdy
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
My French Bulldogs have really strong jaws and are aggressive chewers. These really are sturdy and last a good amount of time. I replace every couple of months and they are one of my dogs favorites and easy for them to hold onto.
