If you write it . . .

One of my all-time favorite movies is Field of Dreams (1989; Academy Awards Best Picture Nominee 1990). Baseball, Iowa, James Earl Jones, Shoeless Joe, dreams, hopes, tears . . . sigh.

“Passed” vs. “Past”

Today a co-worker asked me whether you ran something “past” someone, or ran it “passed” someone. After a google search and a minor debate, we decided that we “ran something by” someone.
