Date: 2014-10-07 09:56 am (UTC)Get your grammar and punctuation correct. Spelling, that's a tough one since in the age of the internet writers can use their local dictionary unless that pesky editor tells them to use US English, or UK English. Or, Flemish :)
Nothing wrong with going literal and your theory of where the saying originates holds water quite well.
