I tingle every time I hear it or see it written. Tingle, not in a good way. When using word, and you do the search and find, it's really scary when you see 100+ that's used. I did it and replaced it with F**ck that, as Sloane suggested. Then reread the entire manuscript and took F**ck that out. Really makes you pay attention to what you've written, cause you sure don't want to submit your book with F**ck that in it. Yes, the ‘that’ word. I tingle every time I hear it or see it written.

That was a real lesson on the use of that grammatical term. My deepest thats to you for that. Actually I'm printing this post out and putting it up on my new bulletin board beside my desk. That way I'll be able to see it often, and get the lesson embedded in my brain. I need all these writing lessons I can get. And that is one of them. Thanks again. Wowsers, Sloane.

That was mean. That hurt. That was just that freakin' painful to read about that. This "That" Whore is very sad now. Just give a minute to recover from that grammar beating. That just sucked but that was also very enlightening. So this "That" Whore thanks you. Wow.

That was mean.

Okay, put down the 2x4, Sloane. Ouch. I got it already. The problem is, sometimes, to my ears, it just doesn't sound right without a 'that'. In the last manuscript I wrote (in the editing-just-before-submitting phase) I have 55 that's. In the first 20 pages. Oy. My name is Sherrill Quinn, and I'm a that whore. Ouch.
