Junior is still my baby bear dog

He doesn't replace The Budster but he fills a void there.He is becoming special in his own way.
Newfies are the most layed back dogs I have ever seen.Junior doesn't get phased by anything...you could let off a bomb and he would just sit and watch unphased

Confusing these two is one of the most common spelling errors in The Guardian (Marsh and Marshall, 2004).

Processes, plans and developments may be phased (~ ‘introduced in stages’). So, in a different sense, may be wireless and electricity – including lighting effects at discos, etc.

People, and occasionally other animals, may be fazed (~ ‘startled’, ‘surprised’ or ‘discomposed’).

I was a journalism major and have worked as an editor.
Grammar matters.
At least it does to me.

Fazed is a word, that doesn't have a good, simple synonym. So even though I don't like the look or sound of the word, I sometimes feel the need to use it. Not liking a word in general can mean being sloppy with it and homonyms seem to be the most tricky.



And BOB! Where are those pics you promised?
