I really go out of my way to not make mistakes on formal writing thingiemajigs, but I still make them. For that reason I'm really not so fussed about seeing a typo here or there, or accidentally using the wrong word. It happens. I think you can tell the difference between someone who really hasn't bothered, and someone who has but just got something wrong. Of course, I'm mostly talking about websites, tweets, whatever here. I guess I'm a grammar liberal democrat.

I think you're right: there are three stages to sainthood: Venerable, Blessed, and then Sainthood. You need at least two verified miracles to make it through all the hoops...

I'm pretty good with most of those, after much practice and reading up on the rules, but now I have the desire to check my in case and piqued just in case
Thanks for sharing. I actually did myself a word doc a while back with past and passed, and other things I second guess. It really helps to have a reference.

I'm on iPad and it gets annoying to add punctuation! Not used to it. Prefer keyboard. So much quicker to reply too.

I'm on a keyboard and that happens to me, from time to time. Usually because I've been off looking for the perfect meme.
You can't help but hear his voice in your head.

It does look like him. When I need an excuse, any will work nicely!

YUP! That is Sir Alan Rickman, of such fame as Die Hard, Harry Potter, Sense and Sensibility, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and Dogma.It does look like him. When I need an excuse, any will work nicely!

Definitely to all of those (esp James Earl Jones!) And Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson. At least, they're on my list.

Ooh, good ones, thank you. I knew I missed some.
Morgan Freeman should be like the Grandmaster of the League of Coolest Voices Ever.

I wouldn't have immediately picked them out as best voices, but Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel most definitely yes
