A memo
To: People getting married
From: Snarkbot
Subject: That thing you get married at
Alter = verb. I think you were looking for a noun.

Haha, I so appreciate this type of snarkiness. Have you checked out the eggcorns site? Hyperverbal people who "share their feelings" about such things as alter vs. altar. But those people construct complete sentences.

Ah, but the altar will alter your life. That is to say it will affect, not effect, it.

I thought "that thing you get married at" was Las Vegas.
