👋 Hey there, Mike here.

By my calculations. I was driving my son to school the other day, and out of nowhere, he said, "Daddy, by my calculations, we should almost be there by now?".

After he pleaded the fifth on where he'd got the phrase from, we had llama llama on YouTube and heard that mentioned on one of the episodes.

2/ Grammar matters

I couldn't think of a better advert for a spelling & grammar checker than this.. can you?
