Should you ever capitalize nicknames, terms of endearment, or common nouns for relatives?
Although they are not proper names by definition, some words—not all—that specifically replace the person’s formal name are capitalized.
Are you confused over the rules?
Spend your money on this.
Devote your time on that.
Solicited and unsolicited investment advice abounds, especially at the start of a new year. As someone who appreciates straightforward, no-strings-attached strategies, I offer a solid tip to boost your writing and speaking.
Have you ever been blamed for an action you did not commit and had no way of proving you were innocent?
At the age of five, I faced a wrongful accusation by the real Santa Claus (or so I was told). Oh, how the injustice forever changed my view of Mr. Ho-Ho-Ho!
What makes a story hilarious, heartbreaking or horrible?
Take a few minutes to read three short-short stories, all of which are true.
Are we on the same page? If not, is that okay?
Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Despite having a soft heart for all kinds of furry creatures, I've failed multiple times in my attempts to cozy up to a cat. Recently, however, a stray black cat crossed my path, giving me only a moment’s notice to decide if my past encounters with felines would influence how I reacted to him.

When I presented my purse for inspection before a tour, they gave me a hard time—jokingly.
Why all the pens?
What happened to Sam?
After inquiring about an employee who always assisted you, have you ever been told the person was “no longer with us”?
How does someone prove his or her character, intentions, or competence?
To answer the question, I offer a true story about my sister.
Sooner or later, we all find ourselves in that awkward position of wondering how we should address a certain person and wishing someone would simply spell it out:
Call him/her/me X.
