*Shoves all my point of views into bag out of sight* It looks like the confusion is just a matter of the plural word coming first which seems less common. It makes sense now that’s it’s said out loud (you know what I mean) that it’s dependent on the ACTUAL WORDS. 🤣 Oh--started that editing course today and learned something about commas that also threw my brain for a loop! I’ll message you 😂

Prof. CP relented slightly: “I blame acronyms: POVs makes perfect sense. It’s /Pee-Oh-Vees/ when said out loud.”

This isn’t totally on topic, but I would just like to say that I am so tired of hearing people say “anyways.” it makes me want to scream.

Prof. Crankypants concurs! The same cringe applies to “towards” and “forwards.”

Ok now she’s going off about farther/further… let me go make her some cocoa.

If I may offer one more: improper use of the word “myself.” Example: The prospective student had lunch with myself and Professor Crankypants.
