Ana is sleeping, the baby is eating a muffin, and I have only one thing to say.

VOILA

I can't believe how many people seem to have no idea how to spell this word. It's not wah-la, or walla, or any variation thereof. There's a v in it, and a whole bunch of vowels. Like viola (or maybe viola) but different.

VOILA.

Honestly, people, get it right!

Well, If they didn't know that was an acronym for absent without leave, they might be forgiven.

I know, but since knowing the acronym is how you know that it means that something has gone missing, then how could you... AACK!

Yeah, I know. I'm not even a language/grammar/spelling geek yet something inside me cringes when people do that crap. My 15 year old was taught to say wah-lah by his well-meaning teacher(among other cringe-worthy malapropisms) and needless to say, he drives me nuts.
