Thistle not at all worried about the details . . .
I’m over on SouthernBelleView today talking about those nit-picky details that can so easily trip writers up. Like blond and blonde–do you know which to use when??
Well, I’ll have a guess…hair is blond, and a person with blond hair is a blonde.
We’ll see…
BTW, I hope it’s OK that I copied the endearing picture of Thistle to use on my laptops screensaver rotation? She’s a dead ringer for our Regis, who does NOT allow photographs.
I love that you’ve borrowed Thistle’s picture! She normally only allows photos outside, but for some reason tolerated this one.
I didn’t even know “blonde” existed!!
Thanks to the French . . .
Love love LOVE this photo of Thistle! Interesting about your publisher’s blond/blonde usage as the preferred dictionary (M-W Collegiate 11th) says either is a noun, either is an adjective … and still makes the male/female distinction. 🙂 CMOS always tells us to default to the dictionary, which I have up to now, but I will definitely check with each individual publisher from now on!
That picture relaxes me!
Yeah, I’m still not 100% positive on the blond/blonde thing–I guess for once I’ll default to what I know is one of your favorite phrases, “That’s what editors are for.” 😉
