BW: Are you ever going to write me back? Also I think you got me sick. (email in it's entirety)
EA: I AM going to write you back. This one will be short, but I'll write more tomorrow while I'm wishing the time away at work. Also, I don't think I was sick, so how did I get you sick?? Sorry you're not feeling well though!
BW: I thought you were sick recently? Weren't you? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
EA: Yeah, pretty sure I wasn't sick. Sorry, but you got someone else's germs, not mine. (Editorial side note: gmail informs me else's is not a word. Nor is elses. Nor is someoneelses. What is the grammatically appropriate way to phrase that? Dude, yo ass got some other dawgs coodies? Those germs came from someone else? You acquired a pathogen from some unknown origin. I was not the source?) **She's an editor, she can answer these all important questions.
BW: I'm pretty sure "else's" is a word. But of the other options, I prefer the one involving the use of the word "dawgs." But I'm pretty sure it's spelled "cooties." **Sometimes, the fact that she's an editor bites me in the butt.
Blogger doesn't recognize "else's" as a word either. Must be a Google thing.
