“Good morning guys,
The printer in my office is low on toner and is not printing good.
[named removed to protect the poor at grammar]”

I’m rubbing off on him so nicely, aren’t I?
Every time somebody asks me how I’m doing, I know I’m supposed to say ‘well’ not ‘good.’
But I just can’t say it.
When I say, “I’m good, how are you?” And they answer, “I’m well, thanks.”
I just start thinking, “Oh are you? Are you well? Well and proper. You know so much. I’m good. I got to work on time this morning. I obeyed all traffic laws on the way in. I’m good.”
So maybe that whole conversation doesn’t happen every time. And I definitely use well in cases involving how things are working, but I still have something about well and good that get to me.
Sorry for this totally pointless comment. It’s Monday
Stacey recently posted..It’s about that time again.
Haha such strong feelings on Mondays! But I know what you mean. Sometimes proper grammar can sound a little stilted. I’ve just been ruined by my journalism career ha.
