Just because everyone does it doesn't make it right ...
I don't usually use this site for ranting, but oh, my pet peeve just about does me in this time of year! I'll make it short....

Love,

Love from the McAustin's house to yours
BUT NEVER:
Love,

Happy Grammar Thursday!

I'm bad about when to use semicolons, so most often I just don't. :) Thanks for the lesson. :)
I'm with you. I am also being very careful here about my punctuation.
Love,
The DallasKs, but not the DallasK's (which shows ownership)
