"I'm a chic chick"

Very quick rant for today, ladies.

I'm not the biggest grammar Nazi in the world or anything, but is our culture getting so out of hand with using the wrong words (they're, there, and there and two, to, and too) that we are even using words that aren't even that much alike?

(My personal favorite was an ex who wrote that she STEAL loves me. I am no fan of thieves. Another wrote she STEEL loves me. She is bracing herself or strengthening her resolve to love me? And both words are different from STILL in pronounciation.)

In any case, it seems that women are now confusing CHIC with CHICK, as in, "I'm a cool chic."

CHIC (pronounced SHEEK) mans stylish or fashionable. CHICK is slang for a female. You can be "chic" but you can't be "a chic."

That's your grammar lesson for today. You're (not "your" or "yore")  welcome.
