    It's been forever since my last confession. I am very sorry for having offended thee. These are my grammar sins:

    1) I wantonly abuse contractions, creating unnatural contractions on plural words.

    2) I use "that" in vain

    3) I have failed to honour plain simple writing and used commas as if they were on a stocktake sale.

    4) I sometimes split my infinitives.

    5) I can't spell suprise or truely or flem.
