Why be so stilted? Thanks for taking our child to school, (or wherever). Presumably you know the driver well enough to trust them with your child, and the child has been sired by someone, the important matter is we trust you, and thank you, not there are two people involved in the kid’s life.

Why not just say.. my blabla, as well as my son’s will cost over $400.

A Facebook reader complained that another commenter was incorrect to use the term “My Walmart” while speaking about the Walmart in closest proximity to her home. I do this all the time. Are we both incorrect to use the word “my” in this way, because we do not own the walmart as he points out, or is he just being a grammar prude? .
