Well I'm glad to find that I'm not alone out here. I just get the overall impression that society in general has adopted a "that's good enough" attitude, rather than distinguishing correct from incorrect. I'd better shut up now before i git myself in a heap trubl mor.

Alright heather, you swung me over. But what do I do about this curse I have that immediately recognizes spelling and grammar errors? I know, I know. I'll just keep it to myself, but it won't be easy.

Hmmm. I must really be in the wrong place then I'm French-Canadian.

karma, my friend. We're not going to argue over grammar, too, are we?

I know a few words of French, but that's it.

Oui, non, Je ne sais pas.

I think not.

Just an observation, but I don't believe that there are a lot of English majors on this site. I realize that there is a lot of shorthand going on, but the shear amount of grammatical and spelling errors makes me believe that many here skipped English class altogether.

I smell George Bush and his complete disdain for govt. regulation of any kind. Even in matters of life and death.

I think this guy is really, really, really into drama. And a good promoter. Just look at all the attention he's drummed up. For free!

$1.00 at the dollar store buys an excellent pair of reading glasses. I have 3 pair.

As for this age specific stuff, I think I'll go barge in to the young punks' thread just for fun. I advise the rest of you geezers to do the same.
